                                 LOW ISLES








                                    Low Isles - The perfect spot to explore what lies above
                                                   and beneath the water!

                                         Here are some of our personal highlights…
                               The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) and the Queensland Parks and
                             Wildlife Service work in partnership with the Traditional Land Owners, the Low Isles caretakers,
                             tour operators, and a host of school and volunteer groups such as the Lowe Preservation Society
                                        and Tangaroa Blue to preserve the values of this beautiful place.

                             As a community we too can contribute to the research. GBRMPA have developed Apps such as
                             The Eye on the Reef Network.  Capture on film the interesting, unusual and amazing experiences
                             you have enjoyed on the Great Barrier Reef and submit these photographs via your mobile phone.
                              This can be anything from wildlife (including protected species) to pests like crown-of-thorns
                               starfish, or marine pollution and coral bleaching, and even special events like coral spawning.
                             Then take home to enjoy... your photographs and fantastic memories but leave only your footprint.
