| Summary: | 1. To assess the distribution, abundance, movements and demography of dwarf minke whales in the northern Great Barrier Reef (GBR); and 2. To develop a risk assessment model and biological indicators for sustainable management. Note: Funding from the Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility (MTSRF) was not allocated to these tasks, however co-investment from the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) to the value of $15,000 was provided over financial year 2006/2007 (only) for the specific task of analysing and reporting on archival passenger questionnaire data collected over 2002-2005, to identify potential trends in swim-with-dwarf minke whale tourism interactions and the management of these interactions over this period. |
