Growing up on the Great Southern Reef

'Oh my! Oh my! How wonderful to be,

on the Great Southern Reef, under the sea!'

Join cousins Indie and Alfie as they explore the unique and diverse underwater ecosystem of the Great Southern Reef.

Hugging the southern coastline of Australia, the Great Southern Reef is an interconnected system of temperate reefs spanning over 8,000 km. A global biodiversity hotspot, it contains many species found nowhere else on the planet, including giant kelp forests, diverse seaweeds, sponges, crustaceans, molluscs and over 700 species of fish.

Climate change, human activity and a lack of awareness of the area is contributing to damage affecting the overall health of the reef. The Great Southern Reef Foundation works to protect and restore this unique marine ecosystem with projects including education, research science and community involvement.
