The paper entitled, "," highlights the need for ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ns to increase their awareness of the scale and significance of the incredibly diverse Southern Reef.
This reef is not only spectacular, but also underpins the economy of coastal communities through recreation, fisheries and tourism and deserves as much attention as its northern reef, the Great Barrier Reef.
