From Reef to region: A multi-scalar analysis of tourism resilience
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is one of the world’s most iconic tourism destinations, supporting local economies along Australia’s northeast coast. The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted global tourism, with particularly acute effects on regions like the GBR that depend heavily on inbound visitors. Using a multi-scalar resilience framework grounded in ecological theory and regional studies scholarship, we analyse economic indicators of impact an…
Perceived need for management interventions in the Great Barrier Reef
The health of coral reef ecosystems is critically threatened by global warming, a fact well-recognized by reef managers and conservation specialists. However, this awareness does not necessarily extend to the broader public, potentially creating an epistemological disparity between expert understanding of necessary environmental management interventions and public perceptions of the need to intervene. This study examines the Great Barrier Reef (G…

Reef Grief: Investigating the relationship between place meanings and place change on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
It is well established that ecosystems bring meaning and well-being to individuals, often articulated through attachment to place. Degradation and threats to places and ecosystems have been shown to lead to loss of well-being. Here, we suggest that the interactions between ecosystem loss and declining well-being may involve both emotional responses associated with grief, and with observable impacts on mental health. We test these ideas on so-call…

On the relationship between attitudes and environmental behaviors of key Great Barrier Reef user groups
Goldberg, J. A., N. A. Marshall, A. Birtles, P. Case, M. I. Curnock, and G. G. Gurney. 2018. On the relationship between attitudes and environmental behaviors of key Great Barrier Reef user groups. Ecology and Society 23(2):19. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-10048-230219
Engaging with risk (or not): Shared Responsibility for Biosecurity Surveillance and the Role of Community Gardens
Governance of risks to native flora and fauna and agriculture from disease and pests increasingly emphasises the importance of a 'shared responsibility' for biosecurity. Few studies, however, have examined factors that influence stakeholders' engagement with such risks and responsibilities, particularly in community, rather than agricultural, settings. In this paper, we focus on a group of stakeholders in a context of heightened regional biosecur…
Advances in monitoring the human dimension of natural resource systems: An example from the Great Barrier Reef
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the feasibility and potential utility of decision-centric socialeconomic monitoring using data collected from Great Barrier Reef (Reef) region. The social and economic long term monitoring program (SELTMP) for the Reef is a novel attempt to monitor the social and economic dimensions of social-ecological change in a globally and nationally important region. It represents the current status and condition of t…
