In the wake of the two largest mass bleaching events on record the Great Barrier Reef is facing an uncertain future. Great Barrier Reef Legacy is a non-profit orginisation created to specifically address the urgent need to ensure the long-term preservation of the Great Barrier Reef. Armed with a state of the art long range research vessel, we will provide free essential access and support for coral reef research, education and multimedia programs. Our mission is to redefine the way that research, education, communication and conservation projects can be funded to solve environmental problems of the highest significance. Currently there are no independently operated research vessels on the Great Barrier Reef. Our charity is working to change this, and to establish a direct honest line of communication between the facts and the public without any third-party media spin. Great Barrier Reef Legacy is of global significance and will directly benefit the long-term survival of coral reefs and their associated communities worldwide.
