00:32It's just a highly biodiverse ecosystem that's about 2,300 kilometres long.
00:39It's considered a natural one of the world because it's the second most biodiverse ecosystem in the world.
00:46We are here at Beaver Reef, just 40 kilometres east of Mission Beach.
00:50A beaver was the first declared green zone back in 1974, so on the Barrier Reef it's been protected for the longest.
00:56The fish life's fantastic. We get everything from the breeding species to the big things coming through, the big whales, manta rays, it just depends on the time of the year.
01:08The Great Barrier Reef is partially endangered just due to basically rising sea and air temperatures, just because the corals are taking longer to adapt.
01:17I think he looks like a galaxy.
01:20My name is Isaac, I'm the Chief Acquis here at GBR Legacy.
01:23Our project in our goal is to collect every species, hard coral species on the Great Barrier Reef and eventually the world,
01:29so that we can collect the DNA and genetic data and protect that genetic data.
01:32So we plan to keep those species in these land-based facilities here so that we can buy time for the scientists to do what they need to do to help the reef and we can actually protect that genetic data.
01:44At the moment we're losing coral species.
01:46Obviously there's a lot between global warming, climate change and a few other things that are impacting the reef.
01:52And the importance of this is that it actually removes the corals from those, I guess, climates that we can't control.
01:59So this is a controlled environment.
02:01It provides a space for scientists to come in and actually study these corals as well.
02:05But it means that if we lose our most sensitive species out in the reef, we still have them here.
02:10Part of the reason we're called the Forever Reef is because we want to make sure that our reef stays around for forever.
02:15But corals can also live forever if we give them the ideal conditions.
02:18So these corals could essentially be here for 10, 20, 30, 40 years, however long we need them to.
02:36So the Eye on the Reef program is basically a monitoring program.
02:41So it's run by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and these guys are reaching out to all of the different tourism companies that go out to the reef daily and ask them to do monitoring for them.
03:01The reef's crucial to protect.
03:03Most of the species that you'll see throughout the whole reef are found or are bred on the green zones like a reef like this.
03:09So it's a really important sanctuary.
03:11Everything that comes out of these green zones feeds the rest of the ecosystem.
03:15So it's really crucial that these remain protected.
03:17There's less than 1% of the ocean is made of coral reefs, yet 25% of the life is living on those reefs.
03:25So the more coral reefs we do have, the more life we have in the entire ocean.
03:29Are theyść echelovation?
03:37All that kind of pollution is monitoring for them.
03:41So once again, you change 94% of the deepring is a tide plan.
03:43We will keep То "'R ejacelovation' here.
03:45And there's still a이�iptalstrateg.
03:47And there's an interestingカел mass can be at least 20%.
03:49But in that space we can create the Universe of последária to the Ohilicher.
03:51And there's more coral reefs.
03:53But in the meantime, the dismount of migration will work all over.
03:55And there is only more coral reefs in the Asian north.
