Get Involved
Everyone visiting the Great Barrier Reef can make a difference. By logging your sightings through the Eye on the Reef app, you’re contributing valuable data that supports reef management and conservation.
Whether you see a turtle, manta ray, shark, unusual fish, coral bleaching, marine debris, or even a crown-of-thorns starfish – every observation counts.
Your sightings:
- Go directly to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority
- Help inform real-time reef protection decisions
- Support scientific research and long-term monitoring
- Contribute to a public sightings map used by managers, scientists, and educators
It’s quick, easy, and you can log a sighting even without phone reception – the app will sync when you’re back online.

Together, we can help protect the Reef – one sighting at a time.
