Scientists will capture the spawn to help regenerate the reef before it\u2019s too late. Viewers will also see the reef come alive in the breeding bonanza of fish, birds and turtles. <em>Reef Live<\/em> will be hosted by Hamish Macdonald (<em>Q+A<\/em>, <em>The Project<\/em>), Brooke Satchwell (<em>SeaChange<\/em>) and Dr. Jordan Nguyen (scientist and inventor).<\/p>\n<p>Further, a collection of world experts will look at ways to preserve the natural and cultural heritage of the reef for the future. They will discuss Indigenous perspectives, conservation initiatives and how people can get involved in citizen-science projects. Other experts will film above and below the water with marine biologist Dr. Dean Miller, free diver and marine scientist Lucas Handley and shark advocate Madison Stewart, reporting from remote areas of the reef.
