Reef 2050 Plan insights report: to inform the 2019 Outlook Report: Report to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority

Abstract

This Report was commissioned by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (under the Commonwealth of Australia), which requested that it “contribute to informing the forthcoming 2020 review of the Reef 2050 Plan by providing insights into the Reef 2050 Plan’s contributions to effective management of the Region. This should be a synthesis of any Reef 2050 specific management identified as part of the management effectiveness review” (Commonwealth of Australia 2017). This report has focused on the targets and objectives of the Reef 2050 Plan. Actions, which have been the focus of the mid-term review of the Reef 2050 Plan, are not evaluated in this report.
