The Reef Cooperative is collaboration of Scientists, Traditional Owners, Conservation groups and Tourism operators, working together in combining academic science, First Nations ecological knowledge and public engagement to conserve reefs across the Great Barrier Reef. This functioning community model has recently surveyed 370 reefs though the Great Reef Census. The information gathered from the Great Reef Census is analysed by the global community, scientifically validated and contributed towards management actions. From here we prioritize reefs, conduct detailed site-specific monitoring and make informed decisions on reef resilience and if site assisted recovery action is required. These decisions are made following the Kulbul decision tree which also considers Traditional Owner Ecological knowledge. All our projects are co-designed and co-managed with Traditional Owners, ensuring that cultural knowledge is continually recognised and safeguarded. So far we have seeded millions of coral larvae on degraded sections of reef from bleaching and stabilised rubble beds from cyclone damage with 750 Reef Stars and attached coral fragments of opportunity. Further we have created a multistage reef intervention training program designed for Traditional Owners to become leaders in reef stewardship. The Reef Cooperative model of engagement and inclusion is highly scalable to improve global coral reef resilience.
