the Guardians of the Reef

YAKKA the Parrot Fish, WHITEY the White Shark and COCO the Clown Fish, They are also the mascots and promotional icons of the OCEANGUARD SOCIETY.

Reefaid - The Concert
A major music concert is planned to be beamed by satellite around the globe, to promote "Save the Triton Campaign".
This concert will help to fund a rescue plan to stem the ongoing destruction of the Great Barrier Reef by the crown of thorns starfish and restore the Reef's ecological balance.
Oceanguard Explorer
The Great Barrier Reef ecosystem is under threat. We are planning a documentary voyage to capture the majesty of the Reef before further damage occurs.
This ambitious expedition is expected to take two years. The voyage will also cater for eco-tourism which opens up the educational outreach to an international audience. Daily online web and social media updates of the voyage will benefit school studies and public outreach globally.
Ride for the Reef
Follow 12 cyclists live online as they ride 16,000 km's around Australia to raise support for a rescue plan for the Great Barrier Barrier Reef before it's too late. The lead rider will be an international name and for some light relief the squad, made up of “characters” will include a zany comedian dressed in Lycra called STERLING MAN.
