12th International Coral Reef Symposium
 
 

The tradition of the International Coral Reef Symposium is to offer Scientific Field Trips as they provide participants with a better understanding of the biology and geology of coral reefs in the region where the Symposium is being hosted.

In 2012, ICRS delegates and their accompanying partners will be spoilt for choice with multiple trip offerings both before and after the
Symposium that are centred on the spectacular Great Barrier Reef.

Each trip will offer a different experience but all will provide insights into management, marine protected area efforts, the effect of recent cyclones, or techniques to restore coral reef habitats.

For those who are not scuba divers or snorkelers, there is a land based tour to Townsville to visit the Museum of Tropical Queensland, Reef HQ Aquarium, the Australian Institute of Marine Science and the World Heritage Listed Magnetic Island.
