Annual Report 1980-1981

Abstract

This report, reviewing activities for the period I July 1980 to 30 June 1981, has been prepared on the eve of the coming into effect of the Zoning Plan and regulations for the first part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, the Capricornia Section. These provisions come into force on I July 1981. The Zoning Plan which has been developed out of a long process of research, information-gathering and review of public comment, is a very significant step in the long term conservation of the Great Barrier Reef.
