Abstract

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) was tasked with designing and implementing an environmental management and monitoring system for Nelly Bay Harbour, which would allow construction works to proceed and ensure that the adjacent fringing coral reef suffered minimal damage. Nelly Bay lies within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and is on Magnetic Island, about 10km northeast of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. The Nelly Bay fringing reef is highly valued by residents and tourists for recreation such as diving, fishing and snorkelling. Construction plans for Nelly Bay raised concern among citizens and managers that it had the potential to damage the health of the Nelly Bay fringing coral reef growing only meters from the (previously built) harbour breakwaters.
