Reef field guide launched
The first comprehensive field guide to the Great Barrier Reef will be launched by UQ Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Greenfield at Customs House tomorrow (10am, Thursday, November 27).
UQ’s Centre for Marine Studies Director and 2008 Smart State Premier’s Fellow Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, said The Great Barrier Reef (CSIRO Publishing, $89.95) provided readers with a broad overview of the biological and physical attributes of the reef and where relevant, other reefs around the world.
The Great Barrier Reef is one of Australia’s most recognised natural icons.
“It is also the largest continuous reef system on the planet and can be seen from space by passing satellites,” he said.
“By understanding it better through resources like this book, we stand a better chance of preserving this wondrous ecosystem for all time.”
All royalties received from sales of the book will go to the Australian Coral Reef Society to fund student research on the reef.
