NESP Marine and Coastal Hub (2025). Innovations To Support Crown-Of-Thorns Starfish Control and the Resilience of the Great Barrier Reef. Project 5.4 Information sheet. Reef and Rainforest Research Centre, Cairns, Queensland.
Overview
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) faces increasing threats from climate-induced mass bleaching, cyclones, and Crown-Of-Thorns Starfish (COTS). To maximise the GBR’s capacity to respond to these threats, it is vital to maintain coral cover and target management actions at the locations that best support the resilience of the GBR.
