Morris Family Foundation has provided more than half a million dollars to reef conservation projects in the last financial year through its Reef Keepers Program.
Under the program, the foundation donates a certain amount of money for every guest stay at any of the Morris Escapes luxury lodges, The Ville Resort-Casino, Ardo, and Morris Nautical.
The last financial year saw a total of $577,000 going towards grassroots projects that support the health of the ocean and the Great Barrier Reef.
The supported projects undertake important work around protecting marine ecosystems, reducing ocean pollution, and improving water quality to reduce sediment run-off.
Since the program began in 2019, the foundation has invested over $2.9 million in key initiatives including reducing plastic pollution and marine debris; improving water quality; advancing reef-based research; and Queensland-based projects that help mitigate human activity that contribute to climate change.
We’re proud to collaborate with leading organisations such as Rainforest Rescue, the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS), James Cook University, and others to help deliver these vital outcomes.
