'Reef Biosearch turns 21 - a milestone for Great Barrier Reef research'

Quicksilver’s environmental division, Reef Biosearch, is celebrating 21 years of operation, highlighting our passion and commitment to the future sustainability of the Great Barrier Reef.

Founded in 1986 and focused on education, research and monitoring, Reef Biosearch is a team of 8 qualified marine biologists ready to share their knowledge and love of the Great Barrier Reef with our visitors. This is the largest team of marine biologists outside of government agencies!

As well as informative reef presentations they help guests to view the reef with informed eyes and are available all day for guests to interact with. On Low Isles guests have the benefit of many inclusive marine biologist activities including a guided beach walk and guided snorkel tour.

On Quicksilver’s Outer Reef cruise, guests can include an optional marine biologist guided snorkel tour to learn so much more about this magnificent marine ecosystem. This adventure snorkel tour costs $58 per person and is a true highlight. Have you thought about pre-booking this for your clients before arrival?

Within the Reef Biosearch group there exists a wealth of knowledge and experience in many fields of marine research and education, particularly relating to coral reefs. Interestingly, they have the longest logbook database of marine observations on the Great Barrier Reef, now ongoing for over two decades.

As we say at Quicksilver, ultimately, we would like all of our guests to leave our region as ambassadors for reef protection and preservation.
