Science and collaboration pathways aim to ensure a future for the Great Barrier Reef
CSIRO is helping create an enabling environment that fosters a broad based set of partnerships. These partnerships prioritise and collaborate on critical research pathways that underpin resilience based management of the GBR well into the future.

Internal governance for GBR research
CSIRO’s research effort in the GBR is guided by a high-level Steering Committee, chaired by Dr Peter Mayfield (Executive Director-Environment, Energy and Resources) and with senior Business Unit representation. It oversights the work of the GBR Coordinator (Dr Bruce Taylor), who is supported by a dedicated GBR coordination team.

On the External Coordination side there are External Stakeholders that connect to a variety of areas on the Internal Coordination side, including:
