The Reef is also extremely important to industries and communities that depend on a healthy reef for employment/ income and their recreation.
Since the 1980’s there have been alarming reports coral cover of the GBR has decreased by 50% and the majority of coral loss can be traced to human impacts from deteriorating water quality.

Our current master planning processes, led by the Queensland Government, are currently undertaken for the Port Gladstone in response to the Reef 2050 long Sustainability Plan released by the Australian Government in March 2015. The proposed boundary of Port Gladstone master planning area does not include Port Alma or the Fitzroy Delta and the North Curtis Island and Keppel Bay which are outside the area of Port Gladstone. Port master planning will provide for the long-term sustainable development of the Port of Gladstone. The Land use plans that are designed are required to be reviewed and remade after every eight years and any reviewed plan of the Land use will need to take into consideration the outcome of the master planning of Port Gladstone. As the port master planning for Gladstone will not apply to Port Alma, the Land Use Plan will continue to be used by Gladstone Ports Corporation to regulate development within existing Strategic Port Land at Port
