Activities undertaken on the Great Barrier Reef

Moscardo and Ormsby, 2004:

"Until recently there has been limited systematic research into levels and patterns of recreational use. Research currently being undertaken by the GBRMPA, as part of the collection of data to guide the Representative Areas Program, will provide some information on the spatial distribution of recreational use, particularly recreational fishing. In addition information is available from two telephone surveys of residents of the coastal regions adjacent to the GBR that have been conducted by the JCU Tourism Program team and funded by CRC Reef. A technical report on this data is currently being compiled but some examples of the information available are presented in Table 2."Examples_of_information_available_on_reef_recreation
