Members of the Australian Dolphins Swim Team swapped the pool for Flynn Reef off Cairns on a Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef expedition on Dreamtime Dive & Snorkel.<\/p>\n

Led by Commonwealth Games gold-medalist, world record holder and Citizens Ambassador Shayna Jack<\/strong>, the group comprised members of the 27-strong squad selected for the upcoming World Swimming Championships<\/a> in South Korea; including Commonwealth Games gold-medalists Alex Graham<\/strong> and Clyde Lewis<\/strong>; who are in Cairns for a pre-event staging camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw such diversity of marine life and different corals, it was incredible,\u201d Shayna Jack said. \u201cIt\u2019s great to see the Reef looking so healthy and to learn what we can do as a team can help keep it that way.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef is a network of individuals, organizations and businesses working to conserve the Great Barrier Reef and inspire people around the world to protect it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been brilliant to take some of Australia\u2019s most talented athletes out on the Reef again this year,\u201d Andy Ridley<\/strong>, CEO Citizens said. \u201cWe hope the team have been inspired by what they\u2019ve seen out on Flynn Reef today, share it with their supporters and encourage them all to help protect this precious place.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dolphins also learned about the unique cultural heritage of the region from Dreamtime\u2019s largely Indigenous crew, consisting of rangers from the four tribes found along the stretch of coastline from Port Douglas to the Frankland Islands – Gimuy Walubara Yidinji, Gunggandji, Mandingalbay Yidinji and Yirrganydji tribes \u2013 as well as Torres Strait Islanders.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo learn about the creation stories of the Great Barrier Reef and the crew\u2019s connection to Sea Country added a whole new element to the trip today,\u201d Alex Graham said.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Members of the team will also took part in a pilot survey for the Great Reef Census, a collaborative citizen science project which aims to establish a broad snapshot of the Reef\u2019s status.<\/p>\n

Citizens are working with a diverse range of partners on the project including the Reef & Rainforest Research Centre (RRRC), Uber, Nickelodeon, Superyacht Group Great Barrier Reef and GBRMPA.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exciting to see the Dolphins swim team engaged in testing the methods for next year\u2019s Great Reef Census alongside Citizens and RRRC,\u201d said Sheridan Morris<\/strong>, Managing Director RRRC.<\/p>\n

Four lucky students and two teachers from Cairns State High School and Trinity Bay State High School joined the team on board, getting in the water with the Dolphins and learning more about how their schools can support a healthy reef.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Reef is still an incredibly vibrant ecosystem,\u201d Andy Ridley<\/strong> said. \u201cWorking with the Dolphins swim team helps us engage Australia and the world in keeping it that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Australian Dolphins also made a similar trip in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n
