Green Island information review 1990

Abstract

The Green Island Information Review was commissioned by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority for the purpose of reviewing the available information pertaining to Green Island contained in published studies, books, theses and unpublished reports. The draft review was utilised as an information resource by participants at the Green Island Workshop conducted by the Authority on October 16 and 17, 1990. This workshop was attended by representatives from the Authority, Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service, James Cook University, Australian Institute of Marine Science, Queensland Department of Primary Industries' Fisheries Branch, University of Queensland, Cairns City Conneil, Mulgrave Shire Council and Reef Research and Information Services. While the final review incorporates comments from workshop data presented at the workshop. This review supersedes the report 'Green Island: review of current knowledge' (Baxter, 1987), which was commissioned as a pilot study for a multidisciplinary research and monitoring program related to Acanthaster planci infestations at Green Island - the Green Island Reef Multidisciplinary Study.
