This is an extract from our conversation on Jansz Beach overlooking Ningaloo Reef, for episode 65. It features the first 15 minutes of our chat on the Resilient Reefs Initiative – the vision, the successful model it’s based on, and what’s happened so far. That includes some brilliant recent developments bringing people together, including some breaking news regarding the Traditional Custodians and now Native Title holders.

The last 5 minutes or so is drawn from the end of the episode. It includes how we can help, an epiphany that sparked some of the work, and a closing story that encapsulates some of the power and meaning of coral reefs. Some great Australian music we could licence for the podcast sends us home (thanks to Adam Gibson) – and even a little bloopers reel. Oops!
