NET-FREE REEF
Take action now to create a thriving Reef free from commercial gill nets.
We bought the net!
For years, we've been advocating to ban commercial gill nets. In 2022, we bought and removed a fourth commercial fishing licence from the northern Great Barrier Reef – creating an area the size of Tasmania as a haven for marine wildlife.
With 90-95% of the far northern Great Barrier Reef now net-free, we're well on our way to creating a #NetFreeReef.
Introducing ReefCycle
A gill net WWF-Australia supporters helped to remove from the northern Great Barrier Reef has been upcycled into sustainable sunglasses through collaboration with Arise Collective. Buy your pair of ReefCycle sunglasses today to help support WWF’s work protecting our oceans.
