Assessing the ecological effects of management zoning on inshore reefs of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park: Reef 2050 Integrated Monitoring and Reporting Program milestone report 2

[Extract] This RIMReP project builds upon a long-term monitoring program that assesses the ecological effects of management zoning on high-use and high-value inshore coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP). The monitoring program aims to track the status and condition of benthic (coral and algae) and fish communities and quantify the ecological effects of no-take marine reserves (green zones, NTRs). It is one of the few systematic long-term monitoring projects conducted on GBRMP reefs that specifically assesses temporal dynamics in reef communities and the ecological effects of zoning managemen
