Marine Discoveries, Cairns

Happy World Environment Day! 🌍

This years global theme is Climate Action - so we thought this weeks Fun fact would be focused on our incredible Phytoplankton which work so hard in silence to store carbon in our Oceans 🩵

Featuring our incredible July intern Pauline & Lily ✨

There’s so much we can do together to reduce our carbon footprint - but here are a few easy ones we can all do from home starting today!

🌊 Swapping your car for a bike ride/walk to work once a week
🌊 Turning off your lights/ air con when not in use
🌊 Reducing our food waste
🌊 Eat local
🌊 Recycle and repair rather than replace

Just your friendly reminder that as June is round the corner, this is what winter looks like on the GBR… ❄️

Not to be make you jealous, buttttt we’ll just leave this here…

If you needed an excuse to book your trip up to cairns to come visit us, let this be it!

We still have spots available in our August internships onwards & now have 2027 dates listed on our website too! 🌊✨

Just in time for whale season 🐋

🔊🐠 Stop scrolling and listen to the sounds of the Great Barrier Reef - stay as long as you need

A day in the life of intern Leilani at the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre 🐢🌿

From preparing feeds and cleaning tanks to monitoring turtle health and helping with daily husbandry tasks, every day at the rehab centre plays a part in giving these turtles a second chance 🫶🏼

An unforgettable hands-on experience learning what goes into the rescue, rehabilitation and release of marine turtles on the Fitzroy Island 💙

Just one of the awesome activities you get up to on your internship with us 🌊

Our kind of busy 🐢🪸 Our amazing interns have been busy over the last 2 weeks looking at coral health and fish populations.

But we are never too busy for a bit of turtle time!

Huge thank you to
For another fantastic day on Norman and Hastings Reefs.
