MANBARRA SEA COUNTRY
Learn about the local marine ecosystems and their cultural significance for traditional owners and custodians of the sea country as you snorkel & experience John Brewer Reef, a naturally formed coral cove and home to the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA).John Brewer showcases some of the Great Barrier Reef's most pristine and healthy coral reefs, as well as marine life such as green turtles, giant clams, and clown fish.
Not only that... here you can also discover the Museum of Underwater Art with the Coral Greenhouse, the first-ever underwater building designed by Artist Jason DeCaires Taylor and filled with 20 reef guardian sculptures that propagate coral and spread the message of reef conservation.
In addition, eight Ocean Sentinel sculptures have been positioned in the sandy ocean bottom, forming a snorkel trail, fringed by the beautiful corals of the reef and are located at a shallow depth making them perfect for snorkellers. The human hybrid form figures are modelled from notable marine scientists, conservationists and traditional owners, who have
contributed and dedicated their life to the Great Barrier Reef, to reflect them
as being protectors.
This unique tour is a brilliant blend of art, science, culture
and conservation providing you with a one of a kind experience on the Great
Barrier Reef.
