This is the website for the part of the Australian Government, Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority that deals with everything related to the Great Barrier Reef. All of the policies are available on the website, details of past mass bleaching occurrences and the plans that have been set in place to avoid further destruction. This is a useful website when looking at concerns surrounding the Great Barrier Reef and what is being done to preserve it.

This is the website for an organisation attempting to build up resilience to harm on the reef. They train people up so that they can manage the reef, and learn how to look after it. Some of the work for this training program is online in "tool-kits", where they explain everything that could harm the corals with a lot on coral bleaching which is easy to read and understand as it is written as an aid to learning.

These websites are the same research centre, the first is the project that finished in 2006 and the second is the project that has been set up since then. They manage the program that examines the reefs and discovers emerging biodiversity and environmental issues. On their website they have various progress reports and other publications about the reef which have been useful in building my site.

Mission 2015 talks about effects of climate change on coral reefs and other aspects of conservation. It is a plan to increase positive human impact on biodiversity, one way in which they hope to do that is to get each country to assess it's native ecosystems and determine what needs to be changed. It is a conservation based plan to improve not only the coral reefs but all ecosystems and education about how precious they are.
