Abstract

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority's 2012 Reef Beat education series, the inshore Great Barrier Reef — bursting with biodiversity, explores how the inshore marine, coastal and Great Barrier Reef catchment ecosystems are interconnected and reliant on one another to function.This innovative teaching resource is designed to assist teachers in providing opportunities for students to explore the biodiversity of the inshore Great Barrier Reef, linkages between marine, coastal and catchment ecosystems and encourage them to take action to protect biodiversity now and into the future.
