A new report on designing an Aesthetics Long-Term Monitoring Program for the Great Barrier Reef has been released by NESP TWQ Hub.
“Monitoring of aesthetic values can potentially serve as a proxy for reef health monitoring in places where scientific ecological monitoring is not feasible or too expensive. Additional opportunities and benefits offered by ALTMP include greater engagement between Reef managers, scientists, citizen scientists, and the wider community in initiatives to restore and maintain aesthetic and other values of important habitats and places throughout the GBR World Heritage Area.”
