Alongside guest-facing activities, the resort’s Living Reef team will conduct behind-the-scenes conservation work including marine debris clean-up dives, coral restoration activity and the installation of 30 new coral restoration frames (staff-only).
As the only island resort in the Whitsundays with ECO Certification from Eco Tourism Australia, Daydream Island is taking a hands-on approach to reef conservation through its Living Reef program and offshore restoration work at Lovers Cove, where coral is actively propagated, restored and replanted back onto the reef.
