Gloria Knolls on Google Earth

In the Layers window on Google Earth, make sure the Ocean/'Explore the Ocean' layer is ticked.

Go to the Cairns area and look for the 'Explore the Ocean' symbol just to the east of the GBRWHA boundary in the Coral Sea (-17.240087, 146.927690). Zoom into the symbol and click on it. There are four linked items connected to the symbol:

• Gloria Knolls – Discovery
• Gloria Knolls – 3D maps
• Gloria Knolls – Dredge sampling
• Gloria Knolls – Environmental conditions

Click each item in turn and you can see that there is a short story, either a video or an image, and links to further info. Each item highlights areas of conservation value in the Coral Sea.
