Reef Biosearch, the pioneering environmental division of the Quicksilver Group, was founded in March 1986 - in an era before the term "ecotourism" was even spawned.
Originally the brainchild of marine biologist Wendy Morris, Reef Biosearch's aim from day one has been to combine tourism, education and research. In the early days, this was by way of providing an educational slideshow to passengers and chatting to them about the reef. All these years later our guiding philosophy remains the same; environmental awareness and conservation starts with education.
Today, the Reef Biosearch team of over 20 university educated marine biologists, and Master Reef Guides, spans the company's Port Douglas and Cairns based tourism operations. While we focus on research, conservation and education initiatives as core operational objectives, the team are dedicated to turning the ocean into an engaging classroom, educating guests about this magnificent watery wonderland. Education is also a powerful conservation tool and we hope that each and every visitor leaves us as ambassadors for reef protection.
Growing up on the northwest coast of the US, I didn't have tropical reefs in my backyard. Instead, there was a resident population of orcas, and I became obsessed with learning about them as a child.

My introduction to conservation and activism hit movie screens in 1993 with a film called Free Willy, and my affinity for orcas grew into a desire to protect the ocean and to one day become a marine biologist.”
Studying in Western Washington, Heather received her degree in 2007 and began working as a Naturalist for a whale-watching operator and the Education Director for the Marine Mammal Stranding Network. Between seal rehabilitation and performing necropsies (animal autopsies) on whales, you could find her guest lecturing in classrooms and public venues. In 2010, she joined the organisation Dolphin Project to help research and document dolphin hunting and the live capture trade. Her travels abroad eventually led her to Australia, to explore the Great Barrier Reef.
“I was so mesmerised by the reef that I’ve stayed, working on or alongside the GBR since 2012. These days, along with working at Quicksilver, I’m also on the Education Committee for the Society for Marine Mammalogy. Education is one of my core passions, and my favourite part of being a reef guide is seeing the excitement people get when learning about the varied marine life. Importantly, my own education continues as well, most recently studying Antarctic and climate science at the University of Tasmania.”
