State of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area Workshop : proceedings of a technical workshop held in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, 27-29 November 1995

Abstract

State of the Environment Reporting is increasingly being seen as an important part of environmental management and is required at the national level as well as within several states. Although there are or have been, a number of long-standing and quite comprehensive monitoring and assessment programs on the Great Barrier Reef, the results of many of these programs have never been summarised in a management context and no overall summary of all of these programs has ever been attempted.
