Protecting Low Isles
for future generations
The Low Isles Preservation Society (LIPS) is dedicated to the protection of Wungkun and the marine, coastal and historic values of the surrounding reef.
From pigeon counts to green turtle research, LIPS volunteers work to protect one of Queensland's most iconic reef islands.
The Low Isles Light
One of Queensland's most recognisable historic lighthouses, the Low Isles Light has guided mariners through the reef since 1878. LIPS works to preserve its history, structure and stories for future generations.
The 1928–29 Great Barrier Reef Expedition — a landmark scientific voyage — was based at Low Isles, cementing the island's place in the history of reef science.
There are many ways to support the work of LIPS — from becoming a member to donating your container refunds.
