Long Reef Aquatic Reserve celebrating 40 years
Long Reef Aquatic Reserve was the first aquatic reserve declared in NSW.
Since 1980, Long Reef Aquatic Reserve has played an important role in protecting rocky shore plants and animals, and has been an important place for marine education and research.
The reserve is an outdoor classroom, living science research site and recreation hub. It is a home for fascinating marine animals and plants.
