In recent years the event has stretched to 8 days with a focus on marine citizen science. Our aim is to partner and collaborate and so far we have Reef Ecologic, Museum of Underwater Art, Reefcheck Australia, CoralWatch, Dry Tropics Partnership for Healthy Waterways, Ozfish Unlimited and support from Australian Citizen Science Association.

We are volunteers with no project funding for ReefBlitz and being based in Townsville we have several events planned including online and in-water events at Magnetic Island, John Brewer Reef and Yongala shipwreck -see our Facebook page below for more details
