dc.description.abstract | In December 1988, following criticism in the media of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority's handling of the crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) issue, the then Minister for the Arts, Sport, the Environment, Tourism and Territories, Senator the Honourable Graham Richardson, requested a review of the Authority's crown-of-thorns starfish research program and policies. The research program had been recommended to the Authority by the Crown-of-thorns Starfish Advisory Committee (COTSAC), a body of experts convened by the Authority in 1984 for this purpose. Funding of $3 million over four years for the program (1985-86 to 1988-89) was provided by the Federal Government. The program was reviewed annually by another advisory body established by the Authority, the Crown-of-thorns Starfish Advisory Review Committee (COTSARC). Zann and Moran (1988), Moran and Johnson (1990) and Lassig (1991) have summarised the structure and results of this program. | en |
