Visiting the Great Barrier Reef

Next week I leave for Australia to visit my dad. We'll be going to Cairns to see the Great Barrier Reef. I have learned a lot about how the reef is managed for humans in the course of booking reservations, etc. Jellyfish are the biggest controversy, with the economic benefits of tourism in the area producing research projects like the Marine Stinger Advisory Group, Louise Goggin's work on Irukandji Jellyfish, and Irukandji syndrome in northern Western Australia: an emerging health problem. So dad and I will go swimming with jellies. I'll let you know how we go!
