About

Cairns Marine is Australia’s largest and leading supplier of marine specimens for display, supplying Australian retail outlets; and international wholesalers and public aquaria

Story

Cairns Marine employs 28 staff, including highly trained divers, marine biologists and aquarists and is owned and operated by the Squire family. The Squires have been collecting animals for display since 1964 when they purchased the Cairns Baths and converted them to an oceanarium and displayed the animals of the Great Barrier Reef to the public for the first time.

Today, the company operates two fully customised 22m vessels collecting under strict licensing and fisheries management conditions from the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea. Specimens are kept at our custom built holding and husbandry facility in Cairns and are distributed across Australia and around the world.
