The Lizard Island Reef Research Foundation

The Lizard Island Reef Research Foundation proudly supports coral reef research at the Lizard Island Research Station, the Australian Museum's world-renowned research facility on the Great Barrier Reef.

Since its inception in 1978, the Lizard Island Reef Research Foundation has raised almost $8 million to support the work of the Research Station. A 2009 publication, Lizard Island Research - a Partnership outlines the history of the relationship between the Australian Museum and the Lizard Island Reef Research Foundation.

The Foundation's current major projects are the 30th Anniversary Development Project and the Lizard Island Fellowships Program.

You can support these and other projects by making a donation to the Foundation. Donations are tax-deductible within Australia.

The Lizard Island Reef Research Foundation recognises three levels of support:

1. Patrons are appointed by the Foundation's board of trustees in recognition of their substantial contributions to the affairs of the Foundation
2. Members contribute $1,000 or more
3. Friends contribute up to $1,000

Current supporters receive an annual newsletter to keep them in touch with the Research Station's activities and developments. As well, they are welcome to tour the Research Station when they visit Lizard Island.

Each year, Foundation Chairman Ken Coles hosts a dinner in Sydney and a luncheon in Melbourne for Members and guests. Members are also entered into a raffle each year to win a fabulous holiday at the Lizard Island Resort, thanks to Delaware North Corporation.
