3D mapping of the Coral Reef Exhibit (CRE) was carried out to allow greater understanding of the reef’s characteristics, including overall structure and morphology as well as abundance and distribution of the hard and soft coral. This information is being used to inform decisions about how best to care for and manage the living components of the CRE during the transformation.

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority acknowledges the expertise, wisdom, and enduring connections that have informed the guardianship of the Reef for millennia. We pay our respects to the Traditional Owners as the first managers of this land and sea Country, and value their traditional knowledge which continues to inform the current management and stewardship of the Reef for future generations. We pay our respects to the Gurambilbarra Wulgurukaba Traditional Owners on whose land the Great Barrier Reef Aquarium is situated on. We acknowledge their connection to Country and are honoured to be collaborating with the Gurambilbarra Wulgurukaba community to co-design exhibits highlighting culture values and connections to sea Country.
