don’t wear SCUBA gear, so why should I?” \u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENine simple words that succinctly sum up Master Reef Guide and Marine Biologist Johnny Gaskell - or “Johnny Fish” as his cheeky workmates call him.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELook below the surface and you’ll quickly see Johnny is as fanatical about the scaly, thorny and finned critters as The Crocodile Hunter was about Aussie reptiles. \u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELook deeper still and you’ll note his Facebook profile pic shows him nose-to-snout with a seal, an \u003Ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/johnny_gaskell/\"\u003EInstagram page\u003C/a\u003E that reads like a storyboard for ‘Fifty Shades of Ocean Blue’, and a Youtube site that reveals his headlining discovery of a blue hole 95km out to sea on the outer Great Barrier Reef. That one 60 second piece of footage, released within a year of coral bleaching events, sparked international news and a storm of hope for Australia’s world-heritage listed reef.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EStill, those achievements pale in comparison to Johnny’s 2019 goal; a year-long quest to tackle the conflicting messages about the health of the Great Barrier Reef by exploring it from north to south. His objective was to see – and film - first-hand the true conditions of his beloved underwater treasure. That alone led to some 200 dives.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThat’s pretty surreal stuff for a boy who grew up in the landlocked city of Bendigo – a town known more for its gold rush than its gold fish – in Australia’s deep south.  \u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E“As a kid I used to spend hours studying the fish and river animals,” Johnny said. “I used to catch them and watch them. Then I realised there was an ocean and something in me shifted and poor fresh water got left behind.”\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESo, at age 18 Johnny shipped off to Warrnambool – on Victoria’s south-west coast to study science and fisheries management. He walked away with his science degree and a Bachelor of Education, which in turn led to a career moonlighting as a tour guide/dive master with Ningaloo’s gentle, but gargantuan, whale sharks on Australia’s western coastline. Similar work followed on boats in Port Phillip Bay and at Victoria’s popular Melbourne Aquarium.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThen, came the call of the Great Barrier Reef and a move to Queensland.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E“I’d been to The Whitsundays 15 years prior, had done a lot of diving on the SCUBA liveaboards.  The Whitsundays definitely captivated me – there are so many islands around here and they are all unique and wonderful.”\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E“Honestly, living here you never get sick of exploring new places but, on the off chance you do, you just go back to the places you love.”\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EJohnny’s natural flair for photography – he’s bagged a swag of prizes for his fishy portraits and exquisite underwater captures – has helped entice friends and family to visit him and inadvertently led to him dabbling in video.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E“My love of video is fairly new,” he said.  “You can really capture animal behaviour on film. You can’t do that in photography, it’s just a single beautiful moment in time.”\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EJohnny’s passion for the ocean led him to project manage the build and stocking of the world’s largest man-made living coral reef lagoons at Daydream Island Resort. It was a job that, more often than not, required him to also suit up and head out with enthusiastic snorkelers and divers onto the Great Barrier Reef. He has since worked with Reef Catchments on a large-scale project to restore coral at reef sites around Daydream, Hook and Hayman Islands.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThese days  you can find Johnny working for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) as the Project Manager for Site Stewardship.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis sees him (and his team) pony up with 26 reef tourism operators to collaboratively build on the baseline knowledge of some of the world’s most astounding coral sites.  The goal is to work with tourism teams to get a ‘whole-of-site’ snapshot by layering in knowledge from Eye on the Reef Surveys with ecological evaluation of the sites. Must of the data collection is conducted by the everyday reef heroes - the dive instructors and the Master Reef Guides - rather than lab trapped scientists.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDespite his lifelong love affair with all things aquatic, Johnny emphatically denies that he’s an ocean nerd or that his oceanic obsession is bordering on maniacal.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E“Find a better word than nerd,” he jokes. \u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWell, there’s always Aquaman <cue superhero music and a requisite grimace from Johnny> and there’s the very bookish ‘thalassophile’. But, however you couch it, it all boils down to Johnny living the life aquatic atop one of the world’s most treasured natural wonders – the Great Barrier Reef.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E“Life,” he says, “Really doesn’t get any better than that.”\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E \u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cb\u003E/Ends\u003C/b\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWord Count: 720\u003Cbr\u003E\r\n\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAuthor: Tourism and Events Queensland \u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EUp to date as at: August 2023\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis Character Profile is supplied courtesy of Tourism and Events Queensland. For more information, please go to \u003Ca href=\"http://www.queensland.com/\"\u003Ewww.queensland.com\u003C/a\u003E and for images, please visit \u003Ca href=\"http://www.visuals.queensland.com/\"\u003Ewww.visuals.queensland.com\u003C/a\u003E.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n","readMoreHeight":0,"richText":true,":type":"teq/components/editorial/editorial-description"},"spacer":{"spacerType":"whitespace","paddingSize":"xxsmall",":type":"teq/components/spacer"},"spacer_1558440557":{"spacerType":"line","paddingSize":"medium",":type":"teq/components/spacer"},"card_carousel_copy_c_58964626":{"title":"Looking for more character profiles?","type":"page","componentID":"card-carousel_537906962","cardCount":8,"classification":"/content/dam/teq/content-fragments/public-classifications/corporate/news-and-media/character-profiles","width":"12 column",":type":"teq/components/corp/card-carousel","cta":{"href":"https://teq.queensland.com/au/en/news-and-media/media-resources/character-profiles","label":"Select to see more","target":"_self"}},"editorial_card_carou":{"maxNumber":20,"region":"","town":"","title":"Looking for more character stories?
