Tropical Topics : A second compilation

Welcome to Tropical Topics, the second compilation booklet. Tropical Topics began life in 1992 as a newsletter for the tourism industry. It was a reponse to requests from participants in a series of training courses in marine and rainforest biology for tour operators, funded by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and the Wet Tropics Management Authority, which were held in 1991 and 1992. These participants had expressed a need for ongoing information support and a regular newsletter was thought to be the most the most effective means of meeting that need.
