Volunteer
Being located at the heart of the Great Barrier Reef means that protecting the natural assets surrounding us is a cause close to every local's heart.
If you are wondering how you can help to preserve this breathtaking natural beauty, then there are multiple ways you can roll up your sleeves and volunteer alongside the local community. Visitors and guests are welcomed and encouraged to join, so they too can spread the word about the importance and wonder of the Great Barrier Reef.
Discover all of the available volunteer groups you can connect with HERE.

Superyacht Donation Hub
The Superyacht Donation Hub is an "opt-in" program organised by Coral Sea Marina.
Feel free to donate items, such as clothing, sports items, books, or games, and Coral Sea Marina will coordinate getting these items out to vulnerable and deserving communities across the Pacific Islands and Asia.
Similarly, if your vessel's onward journey is taking you to parts of the world that could benefit from these items, let us know and join the cause by transporting these goods to those locations on your travels.
For more information and to express your interest, please contact the Coral Sea Marina marketing department. We appreciate your support!
