CRC REEF RESEARCH CENTRE

The CRC Reef Research Centre completed its contract with the Commonwealth Government in 2006 after 13 years. The Centre decided in May 2006 that the successor organisation for handling its contracts and assets would be the Reef and Rainforest Research Centre or the RRRC. The RRRC began operations in 2006 and is now building up its website to ensure the results of the CRC Reef remain available via the internet. This site is now 'static' and scientific products will be maintained at this site or migrated to the new site over time.

The Cooperative Research Centre for the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area (incorporated as CRC Reef Research Centre Ltd) was a knowledge-based partnership of coral reef managers, researchers and industry. CRC Reef provided research solutions to protect, conserve and restore the world's coral reefs by ensuring industries and management were sustainable and that ecosystem quality was maintained. The needs of end-users were incorporated into the design, instigation and progress of the research.

Centrally located to the Indo-Pacific region, in Townsville in far northern Queensland, CRC Reef Research Centre Ltd and its partners were an internationally-recognised focus of expertise and experience in coral reef science, technology and management.

The CRC Reef Research Centre was established and supported under the Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Centres Program.
