Australia's Great Barrier Reef is a valuable national and community resource, supporting commercial and recreation fishing and extensive national and international tourism along the length of Queenslands coastline. However it is an environment that is under threat from changing climate. The impact of a degraded reef environment is broad reaching, with effects on the Australian and Queensland economy and way of life. A better understanding of how this valuable environment will respond to its changing environment is imperative and will provide us with a more informed basis on which to predict its future sustainability.

澳大利亚的伟大障碍礁是一种有价值的国家和社区资源，在昆士兰州海岸线的长度上支持商业和娱乐钓鱼以及广泛的国家和国际旅游。但是，这是一个因气候变化而受到威胁的环境。退化的礁石环境的影响广泛，对澳大利亚和昆士兰州的经济以及生活方式产生了影响。 对这个宝贵的环境将如何响应其不断变化的环境是必须的，并将为我们提供更明智的基础，以预测其未来的可持续性。
