The Federal Government is turning to multinational companies and philanthropists to help protect the Great Barrier Reef by offering branding rights on programs they sponsor which combat immediate threats.

The Partnerships for the Reef 24-page document outlines the sales pitch, detailing what programs they can invest in.

A seabird resilience program, which would see nesting habitats on islands restored, would require $1 million over five years per island.

Crown-of-thorns starfish control would come with a $7 million price tag over three years.

"We are interested in sponsorship, co-investment and collaborative arrangements to deliver projects and explore your ideas on how to better protect the reef," the document said.

"Your role and commitment to protecting and conserving the Great Barrier Reef will be widely acknowledged.

"All Reef Trust investments will be recognised in branding of project materials, ranging from online publications and reports to social media activities and reef events."

Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt encouraged organisations to also come up with their own ideas.

"Talk about how we might co-fund some of those ideas that will make a big difference," Mr Hunt said.

"To give ourselves the best chance of helping improve the health of the reef we must explore ways to diversify funding and invite further investment from other areas of the community."

The program has the support of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.

"To secure the reef's future we need to work together," chairman Russell Reichelt said.

The program complements the Federal Government $140 million Reef Trust fund, which includes $58 million to improve water quality.

Key priorities in 2016 include better port planning and engagement with traditional owners and improving water quality.
