The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) is an Australian government agency responsible for protecting and managing the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef system. It ensures the reef’s health by regulating fishing, tourism, and other activities, setting rules to prevent damage while allowing sustainable use. GBRMPA also monitors environmental conditions, conducts research, and educates the public about the reef’s importance. Its goal is to preserve the reef’s unique biodiversity for future generations while balancing human interests and conservation efforts.
