The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is one of Australia's biggest icons, and represents more than 10% of the world's coral reefs. It is a World Heritage Area and is home to more than 1 million species. The GBR provides Australia with more than $6 billion in annual national revenue. To help manage for sustained resilience of the GBR in an era of climate change, Australia needs to understand the major threats, in particular ocean acidification. By producing an innovative framework for assessing acidification risks, the project will help Australia demonstrate continued stewardship of one of the world's richest and most sensitive ecosystems.

大堡礁（GBR）是澳大利亚最大的标志之一，占世界珊瑚礁的10%以上。它是世界遗产，拥有超过100万种物种。GBR每年为澳大利亚提供超过60亿澳元的国家收入。为了帮助管理GBR在气候变化时代的持续恢复力，澳大利亚需要了解主要威胁，特别是海洋酸化。通过制定一个评估酸化风险的创新框架，该项目将帮助澳大利亚展示对世界上最丰富和最敏感的生态系统之一的持续管理。
