<p data-start="121" data-end="387">This December, be one of only 60 Citizen Researchers on our limited-edition voyage — <em data-start="212" data-end="257">Coral Futures: A Citizen Science Expedition</em>. This is a rare chance to explore the Great Barrier Reef in the company of some of Australia’s most respected scientific minds.
<p class="" data-start="389" data-end="614">In partnership with&nbsp;<em data-start="409" data-end="432">Australian Geographic</em>, this seven-day journey blends adventure, discovery, and purpose. It’s a hands-on mission to understand, protect, and preserve one of the world’s most extraordinary natural wonders.
<p class="" data-start="616" data-end="1050">From snorkelling vibrant coral gardens to cruising remote mangrove channels, guests will take part in meaningful conservation work that supports real-world initiatives like the&nbsp;<em data-start="793" data-end="815">Forever Reef Project</em>,&nbsp;<em data-start="817" data-end="830">Coral Watch</em>, and <em>Tangaroa Blue Clean up.</em>&nbsp;You’ll survey coral colonies, learn about reef health, help document biodiversity, and witness firsthand the science behind reef restoration and preservation—all while soaking in the beauty and magic of the Reef. This voyage is designed for those who want to contribute to reef conservation and offers an accessible entry point into the important and often complex work of protecting the world’s largest reef system, all being guided by experts and supported by hands-on activities.
