The Green Island Living Classroom, a curriculum based educational program and facility launched last year by Great Adventures, is proving to be a resounding success in showcasing education on the Great Barrier Reef. With island, reef and rainforest together, along with a dedicated classroom facility and led by Quicksilver Group marine biologists, the Green Island Living Classroom has been praised by teachers as providing place-based education at its best.

Just another day on the Reef! While conducting weekly Eye on the Reef surveys, marine biologists Dr Glen and Fern had some unexpected company as a pod of Spinner Dolphins cruised on by at Quicksilver’s Agincourt Reef pontoon! You never know what wonders you’ll encounter out here. Spinner dolphins are the most common species encountered on the Reef and are named after the aerial tricks they perform when leaping out of the water. These small dolphins will even ride the pressure wave off the bow of slow moving vessels.
