Australia: Education and extension:management's best strategy for the Great BarrierReef Marine ParkDonald J. AlcockAbstractThe most important way to manage natural resource areas like theGreat Barrier Reef World Heritage Area in Australia is by welldesignededucation and extension programmes which shape visitorand user attitudes and behaviour. They focus on the area’s value andon nature conservation, not by direct teaching but by experience.Education for environmentally sustainable development (ESD) -unlike some other fields of education - must do more than simplyincrease awareness and understanding. It must developenvironmentally responsible attitudes, a commitment to work forchange, and a wide range of skills and behaviour successfully totackle environmental problems.IntroductionThe Great Barrier Reef is the largest system of corals and associated lifeforms in the world. A marine park within the Great Barrier Reef Regioncovers about 350,000 km2 on the north-east Australian continental shelf. TheReef stretches for almost 2,000 km along the coast of Queensland in acomplex maze of reefs varying in size from less than 1 hectare to more than100 km2. The Reef is diverse not only in the form and size of its reefs andislands but also in its inhabitants. Six species of turtle are found in the regionand it is believed that there are more than 1,500 species of fish. About 350species of hard coral have been identified and the islands are inhabited orvisited by more than 240 species of birds. The Reef is an important breedingground for dugongs and humpback whales.Human use of the ReefCommercial fishing and tourism, recreations including fishing, diving andcamping, traditional fishing, scientific research and shipping movements alloccur in the Great Barrier Reef Region. Tourism is the largest activity ineconomic terms. Resorts use the reefs extensively for fishing, snorkeling,water sports, sightseeing and reef walking. Large high-speed catamaransprovide day trips to the islands and outer reefs.Prawning represents about 80 per cent of the total commercial fishing catch134
