Marine tourism coordination framework for environmental incidents

Abstract

[Extract] The Marine Tourism Coordination Framework for Environmental Incidents (the Framework) was developed to guide the coordinated marine tourism industry response to environmental incidents – including the identification of clear communication protocols and lines of communication into existing Australian and Queensland Government incident response plans and processes. The Framework will also be particularly important as a guideline for collaborative action even when Australian and Queensland incident response plans are not triggered and significant Reef tourism impacts are involved.
