Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority

The Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (BRMPA) is an Australian government agency responsible for protecting the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system. Established in 1979, its main goal is to ensure the reef's health and sustainability, balancing environmental protection with responsible tourism and fishing activities. The Authority manages the marine park through regulations, monitoring, and community engagement, promoting awareness of the reef's ecological importance. By implementing strategies to tackle threats like climate change and pollution, the BRMPA aims to preserve this unique and biodiverse marine ecosystem for future generations.
