	Home / MTSRF Research / Theme 4 - Sustainable Use and Management / Program 8 - Sustainable Use (Great Barrier Reef) / Project 4.8.6 Project 4.8.6 - Analysis of recreational and tourism use and impact on the Great Barrrier Reef for managing sustainable tourism Project Leader: Professor Bruce Prideaux, James Cook University Project 4.8.6 aims to determine the social values of key marine species, particularly large fish around tourist facilities, and to undertake an economic analysis of the value of no-take zones to tourism in the Great Barrier Reef. The economic analysis will be deferred until adequate capability has been developed in North Queensland through a cooperative arrangement between James Cook University and the CSIRO. In addition, the Project will identify annual visitor usage patterns of the Great Barrier Reef to enable the identification of key trends and drivers of visitor patterns and economic impacts of visitation. Impacts of tourism and visitation to critical reef sites and sustainable levels of visitation to these sites will be assessed. This Project will provide links with the inshore biodiversity project (Project 4.8.7) on irukandji movement and habits, and the risk of human encounters to irukandji and other marine stingers that may influence tourist visitation. The Project is also linked to Project 4.8.5, which aims to understand and document the impacts of the GBR Zoning Plan on use (tourism, recreation, and fishing) of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area and users. Key objectives of this Project are to: Identify relative social and economic values of key marine species, particularly large fish around tourist facilities; Undertake a bio-economic analysis of the GBR Zoning Plan to determine the value of no-take zones to tourism in the GBR; Identify impacts of tourist and visitation to key reef sites and sustainable levels of visitation to these sites; and Identify key trends and drivers of visitor patterns, including an assessment of the economic impacts of visitation and comparison of the GBR with international reef tourist attractions.
