Commercial and International
CRC Reef undertakes research in the public interest, such as monitoring
the status of the Great Barrier Reef. It also does research to solve problems
that are specific to our members' interests, such as establishing the
regional boundaries for the representative areas program or measuring
the socio-economic status of commercial fisheries.
Our goal is to be the preferred supplier of tropical marine science expertise
in research, education and training for both national and international
clients.
CRC Reef has the following objectives for its commercial and international
program:
- to undertake research, training and advisory contracts relevant to
the aims of CRC Reef;
- to provide training and advisory services in coastal zone management,
marine protected area management, monitoring and research techniques,
extension and education techniques and related ecologically sustainable
uses to governments and donor agencies in developing countries;
- to establish international education links to foster recruitment of
students and trainees to CRC Reef-related activities
