Achievements over the last 12 months

The relationship is very strong, built on 25+ years of working together and 3 years specifically in this partnership monitoring project.

October 2022 - shared mapping workshop to collate local observations of Crown of Thorns Starfish (COTS) abundance. In addition to the project the partners are working together to support the repatriation of coral samples collected 150yrs ago and taken to the Smithsonian in the US.

Partnership elements strengthened

New in 2023.
