The data in this field guide has been prepared by staff at the Lizard Island Research Station on the Great Barrier Reef, north of Cairns in Queensland, Australia. It covers many of the most commonly encountered marine and terrestrial plants and animals that can be found at and around Lizard Island.

The field guide provides extensive information about appearance and behaviour of the species, including details on where they are found around the Island. The information remains accessible on your device, even when you do not have a network connection.

The keen can also use the app. to send their own sightings, including photos, back to the Lizard Island Research Station, contributing to our knowledge of this precious ecosystem. Record the sightings as you go and then upload them when you are back on the network.
