  • The Species Conservation Unit monitors certain vertebrate species in the Great Barrier reef and provide specialised advice to minimise human impact and its associated risks on Protected Species.
  • Naming and recognition of the Great Barrier Reef in 1981 as a World Heritage Area helps raise public awareness of the need to conserve the reef, as well as enabling laws which specifically help protect the Reef.
  • The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority works in assocaition with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Traditional Owner groups to understand how they have managed to conserve the reef yet utilise its resources with minimal impact. Together, these two groups develop and maintain Sea Country Partnerships which will help sustain and conserve the reef.
  • Australia is one of the countries of the world implementing a Biodiversity Action Planwhich helps to protect the Great Barrier Reef.
  • There are regions along the coast near the Great Barrier Reef where use of chemical and pesticides by farmers is being closely monitored, in light of revelations that the chemicals are damaging the ecosystem of the Reef.

Restrictions in boating, fishing, and various other activities have, increasingly, been put in place, to help protect the Great Barrier Reef from further destruction. Nevertheless, it is still an extremely vulnerable ecosystem, and remains threatened.

What is the limiting factor for the Great Barrier Reef?

Well, there are a lot of limiting factors, but one I do know is: if there is an over abundance of fish and sea animals, the water will become less clear. Then the bacteria will start to die off, thus, killing the coral reefs, which will mean the fish and other sea life will have to find a different place to live.
