Great Barrier Reef

Learn about the people, partnerships and programs of the Reef Trust supporting a resilient Great Barrier Reef.

The Australian Government's Reef Trust was established in 2014. It is Australia’s investment program for the Reef.

The Reef Trust funds programs to support a resilient Reef. These programs continue to help manage key threats for the Reef.

They have supported efforts to:

  • improve water quality
  • reduce marine debris
  • manage crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks
  • protect marine life

They are also delivering world-leading restoration and adaptation solutions. These solutions could help the Reef adapt to and recover from the impacts of climate change.

See the range of programs being delivered in partnership with:

  • Traditional Owners
  • industry
  • communities
  • research organisations
  • natural resource management groups.
