The subtle blue and purple beads perfectly capture the colour of the glistening ocean, all while helping to save it. With each Mermaid Mala or bracelet 20% of the cost will go directly to RCA to help #SAVEOURREEFS! Head to https://t.co/R77Gaz9BpB to check them out 💙

A break in the weather saw a small team head out to complete our surveys at Narrowneck Artificial Reef and Wavebreak Island, on the Gold Coast. What a great way to kick off December! 🐬🌱🐟#allhandsondeck #volunteertoprotect #SaveOurReefs

[Reef Check Australia @ReefCheckAus]

A small swell greeted our team at Narrowneck and we saw interesting diversity of algae and sponges, along with countless black feather stars. Following a visit by a pod of friendly dolphins, we headed into the shelter of the seaway and swam with the fish at Wavebreak Island.

If you are looking for something a little different this year, think about giving an experience rather than a physical gift. We have some beautiful experiences and events to share, so stay tuned!

[Reef Check Australia @ReefCheckAus]

For our giving month of December, we wish to showcase some of the awesome brands, groups, businesses, and individuals working together to create a change in the world around us! 💙

It's time for the @RSRC_UQ lab to leave #HeronIsland, and one last chance to say goodbye to all the shy little #ReefCreatures like this adorable Pink #Anenomefish (the best anenomefish IMO) peeping out from inside her #anenome home #clownfish @ReefCheckAus

We work across many different lands, including Yuggera and Turrbal Country where this post was created. We acknowledge that sovereignty over this land was never ceded, and the fight for healthy reefs would not be possible without meaningful collaboration with Traditional Owners.

This #NAIDOCWeek2020, we can all learn and acknowledge the Aboriginal Country that we work, live and benefit from! Check out the @AIATSIS map of Indigenous Australia here: https://t.co/19Iyw9rNTR
