The Cairns Port Douglas Reef Hub is a local network to connect, grow and champion the efforts of diverse organisations in the region to support the resilience of the Great Barrier Reef. The hub coordinators are Dr Abbi Scott (pictured below) and Dr Katie Chartrand (pictured right).
Abbi says " We are very excited to launch a new website and social media pages for the Cairns-Port Douglas Reef Hub!"
The Cairns-Port Douglas Reef Hub will also be using the social media platforms of Linked In, Facebook and Instagram.
"We have been planning what the next phase of the Reef Hub will look like and are working to have more of an outward facing presence. We plan to share Reef Hub projects and showcase more of the amazing work happening in the region."
Check out their new website here which they will continue to update over the coming months with details on Reef Hub projects and plans!
