Cairns-Port Douglas Reef Hub Network Grants

This funding opportunity aims to support individuals and organisations in the Cairns-Port Douglas Reef Hub network to share knowledge and skills, as well as build collaborative research and activities for strengthening coral reef stewardship and assisted recovery practice.

The Cairns-Port Douglas Reef Hub is an open collaborative network that connects people to share, learn, and pilot new collaborative approaches to care for the Reef in the face of climate change.

The people and organisations engaging with the network have a diverse range of skills and capacity relevant to coral restoration and adaptation practice. This opportunity aims to tap into that extensive knowledge base and help grow the range of opportunities available to benefit the network and collective efforts to care for local reefs.
