Download the State of the Great Barrier Reef On-line
The update chapters of the State of the Great Barrier Reef On-line are available here as downloadable PDF files. As the State of the Great Barrier Reef On-line is under continuous development, new chapters will periodically be released, and previously published material regularly reviewed and updated with the latest information. It is recommended that readers revisit the State of the Reef On-line to view and download the latest updates and newly published material.
Apart from being designated as either Environmental Status or Management Status chapters, there is no defined sequence of chapters and each individual update chapter can be read as a separate entity. However, as each update chapter is cross referenced with other update chapters, downloading all the available chapters will result in a more functional and comprehensive collection of information.
