Reef in Focus podcast: Aquarium redevelopment ft. Fred Nucifora

REEF IN FOCUS PODCAST

Since opening in 1987, the Great Barrier Reef Aquarium has provided millions of people a chance to experience the magic and wonder of the Reef without getting wet. It’s home to the world’s largest living coral reef aquarium and has inspired curiosity, learning, and love for the Reef across generations.

After closing to the public for major upgrades, questions have been raised. Will it reopen? Is there funding to finish the job? What does the future hold for this iconic tourism and education facility in Townsville?

In this episode of the Reef Authority’s Reef in Focus Podcast, we speak with Fred Nucifora, the Reef Authority’s General Manager of Major Projects, to get the facts on the redevelopment and the vital role the Aquarium continues to play in Reef education, science, and storytelling.
