Tourism operators reignite water quality monitoring program

tii · May 26, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Easing of COVID-19 restrictions has sparked a return to action for Whitsunday tour boat operators involved in a citizen science water quality project.

The excellent partnership built early in the year to kickstart a tourism-led water quality monitoring project in the Whitsundays has been on hold, but now some of the tourism day operators are using their time to re-start the water quality monitoring project.

Ocean Rafting undertook water sample collection in early May for the first time since the tourism industry shut down in March due to COVID-19. Red Cat Adventures will undertake another trip this week. While still observing all the guidelines, this means the water sampling and data logger maintenance is back on track thanks to the commitment of the tourism operators.

Coping with the Current Health Alert

diana · May 5, 2020 · Leave a Comment


COVID-19 has presented a significant threat to our friends, families and businesses in our local communities. Reef Catchments has been actively working to reduce the threat to our staff and outcomes by postponing our face to face forums, public gatherings and events, even providing resources for our workforce to work remotely and come together via digital platforms.

By implementing these measures, we have been able to provide peace of mind to our staff, their families and the members of our communities.

Over the course of the past several months, we have been actively working with our wonderful community members and landholders, and working towards our strategic goals using alternative means. Our physical office may be closed for a little while yet, but we are all working closely together to maintain employee well-being and connectivity. Our meetings have become a time of togetherness and our Board of Directors are also participating in our Board and Committee Meetings using online face-to-face resources.
