The Social and Economic Long-Term Monitoring Program (SELTMP) collects primary data on a subset of Great Barrier Reef (GBR) human dimension indicators relating to social, economic, cultural, and governance aspects of the GBR, as described within the Reef 2050 Long Term Sustainability Plan (Reef 2050 Plan). These human dimensions are considered to play a pivotal role in resilience-based management of the GBR. For more information see associated milestone report Hobman, E. V., Mankad, A., Pert, P.
