Mission: swap the shark receiver. Sharks are on the move, and researchers are keeping track. But how do you follow a shark that can travel hundreds of kilometres? One way is with underwater acoustic receivers. These little devices listen out for signals from tagged sharks as they swim past, helping researchers build a picture of where they go and how they use the Reef. @gbrbiology Site Stewardship team recently joined @biopixeloceans at Green Island to replace one of eight receivers they look after across their Cairns and Port Douglas sites. It’s one of the ways the Master Reef Guides get involved in the research happening across the Great Barrier Reef, working alongside scientists to keep valuable data coming in. 📍 Green Island, Gunggandji Sea Country 🎥 @gbrbiology Marine Biologist @floor_soup_ #shark #greatbarrierreef 10 Nov 2026

be a good guest. We’re visitors in their world, so give wildlife the space to simply be. 📍 Mackay Reef with @oceansafaricapetrib #greatbarrierreef #shark #nature 09 Nov 2026

The Reef’s Looking Glass Glass bottom boats are a great way to see what’s happening beneath the surface without even getting wet. And if you’re joining a tour led by a Master Reef Guide, you’re in for an even better experience! Master Reef Guides love sharing their knowledge of the Reef, pointing out wildlife you might otherwise miss and telling you a little more about what you’re seeing below. Come join a tour next time. 📍 Green Island with @greatadventurescruises Tour led by Master Reef Guide Bekki Featuring @gbrmarinepark Reef Guardian School #greatbarrierreef #oceanlife #nature 07 Nov 2026

A little bit of everything, all living together. Different shapes, colours, patterns and personalities, all playing their part in the life of the Reef. The beauty and importance of biodiversity. 📸 Master Reef Guide Steven @i.am.animal 📍 @heronisland 06 Nov 2026

incredible conditions at Green Island today Looking for a sign to visit the Great Barrier Reef? This is it! 📍 Green Island with @greatadventurescruises @gbrmarinepark Reef Guardian School trip #greatbarrierreef #nature 05 Nov 2026

Pretty in pink and blue 💗💙 Parrotfish are more than just pretty faces! They keep the Reef healthy by grazing on algae, giving corals room to grow and even producing the beautiful white sand we love. 📍 Agincourt Reef with @quicksilvercruises #greatbarrierreef #nature 03 Nov 2026

hang in there! Some days, just hanging in there is an achievement in itself. And that’s enough. Go little slug, go 🫶 🎥 @jovlogsss Species: Slender Sap Sucking Slug (Thuridilla gracilis) #greatbarrierreef #oceanlife #nature 02 Nov 2026

When rays on the menu… This Moray eel did pretty well for itself, managing to catch a Blue spotted Ray for its next meal. The Reef isn’t just about the cute and colourful like nemos and turtles. There’s a whole wild side happening beneath the surface, and sometimes you get a front row seat to it. 🎥 @carlosrodriguez_photo with @divers_den #greatbarrierreef #wildlife 31 Oct 2026

Double trouble 👻 Two stonefish, one very fitting Halloween look. Happy Halloween 🎃 🎥 Master Reef Guide @pablocogollos_photography #greatbarrierreef #halloween 30 Oct 2026

Can you snorkel through spawn slicks? Yes, though it’s often nicer to avoid it. It’s not long now until the Great Barrier Reef’s mass synchronised coral spawning event, and with that comes these ‘spawning slicks’. When you visit the Reef this month or next, you might see them. They’re completely harmless, made up of millions of coral eggs and sperm bundles drifting on the surface, waiting to create new life. The water can look cloudy and we are not going to lie, it can be stinky, but it’s all part of the Reef’s incredible natural event and we love seeing them. So yes, you can snorkel through it gently if you really want, but we recommend swimming around it instead, this keeps the slick nicely undisturbed. And if it’s not your thing, don’t worry the current will carry it away soon enough. Either way, you just got to witness new life beginning on the Reef, an experience that not many people ever get to see. P.S. Some slicks you see may actually be a Trichodesmium bloom, a floating, algae like film that can look a lot like coral spawn. It’s easy to confuse the two. If you’re unsure, just ask a Master Reef Guide, they’ll help you tell the difference and explain what’s happening on the Reef. #greatbarrierreef #nature 30 Oct 2026

The baby boom; It’s not just corals that spawn. Brittle stars, Sea cucumbers, Giant Clams and plenty of other marine animals have their own reproductive parties happening underwater. Some time it during the mass synchronised spawning event, while others do their own thing at different times of the year. The Reef’s a pretty busy place when it comes to making babies. 🎥: Brittle Sea star: @dani.raco.s Sea Cucumber and clam: Master Reef Guide @mish_loves_fish #greatbarrierreef #nature 28 Oct 2026

Shark and ray party Heron Island, shark bay, on the Southern Great Barrier Reef is experiencing the usual spring gatherings. This is all part of why Heron Reef is recognised as an Important Shark and Ray Area. Of course the aggregations and sightings of sharks and rays like this is a daily occurrence, but the baby sharks and rays are more common of our spring and summer 🥰 100’s of cow tail rays, big lemon shark, baby lemon shark, baby black tip reef sharks, and baby giant shovelnose rays 😍 Lots of mating activity being seen from the sharks and rays, the usual large whitespotted eagle rays are also around and doing their courting. And of course 1000’s of sea birds. Post by Master Reef Guide Elliot @masterreefpanda 📍 @heronisland #greatbarrierreef #sharks #wildlife 28 Oct 2026
