This report synthesises the key information arising in the first
year of the MTSRF
Great Barrier Reef (GBR) programme, following an introductory
review of the GBR's biological, ecological, geomorphological and
socio-economic setting, pressures and recent management
initiatives, and the prior research that formed the scientific
underpinning. The report also indicates the national and
international importance of the work being conducted, and future
research directions, with extensive use of direct quotes from the
researchers' recent research publications and updates.
