About the program

‘Catchments to Coral—Great Barrier Reef Coastal Ecosystems and species protection on Cape York’ is a program funded through the Australian Government’s Reef Trust that aims to improve the health and resilience of coastal habitats within the Great Barrier Reef catchments of eastern Cape York.

Extending from 2021 to 2023, this program will provide funding for Cape York land managers to deliver broad ranging projects that protect catchment and coastal values including weed and feral animal management, fire management, reducing visitor impacts, controlling stock access or de-stocking unmanaged cattle, and can also include organisational capacity building outcomes for land management groups.
