It is a status report for the Great Barrier Reef published by AIMS each year for the previous sampling year. It shows trends in coral cover, fish diversity, etc etc. Great report, although rather heavy. Maps out coral recovery zones, lists which are increasing in abundance or decreasing, etc. Take some time if you are interested in real reef conservation and get a feel for how things are occuring.
