Green Island is a unique and vibrant habitat within Moreton Bay, notable for being the bay's only coral cay, formed over time by the activities of corals and algae. Its long-term survival alongside a bustling human population highlights the generally healthy water quality in the surrounding waters.
This small but ecologically rich island is a true biodiversity hotspot, supporting a mix of mangroves, seagrass beds, and coral reefs all within a compact area. For students, Green Island is like a natural classroom. Exploring this small but diverse island gives them a hands-on opportunity to discover how these different habitats connect, how marine life survives, and why protecting such ecosystems is so important.
