In May 2023, I took a solo trip to Airlie Beach to finally see the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) in person. It was there that I witnessed the devastating impact that climate change has had on the reef (including coral bleaching and a dwindling population of marine life). This inspired me to create an educational infographic to help promote public interest in helping the reef, through organisations like the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). I used the
Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMA) and the
Great Barrier Reef Foundation for some easy-to-read, quick facts to include.
