Abstract

The Outlook consensus workshop was organised and convened by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) in Townsville on 28 May to 1 June 2018. The objective of the workshop and surrounding process was to secure an independent set of expert judgements about condition, trends and risks in the Great Barrier Reef Region1 that could be used to inform GBRMPA’s preparation of the 2019 Great Barrier Reef Outlook Report.
