Environmental Policy analysis
Environmental policies are introduced at the national level and detail their consequences
in relation to areas such as water, land, and food. The objective of every environmental policy is
to promote sustainable development and control pollution. Environmental policies have far-
reaching impacts on the environment. It is a fundamental requirement to understand the social
and geographical structure of the area before creating environmental policy. As a policy analyst
for an organization, I have been assigned an environmental issue of the agricultural runoff and
the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and make a background analysis of the environmental policy,
Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act.
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is a diverse ecosystem that is located on along the
northeast coast of Australia and extends for more than 2,300 km1. The diversity of GBR
encompasses 2,000 sponge species, 620 fish species, 410 hard coral species, 14 sea snakes
species, 300 mollusk species, 500 marine alga species, 630 echinoderm species and seven
species of marine turtle. It was concluded that many communities of coral reef are tolerant of
sediment and turbidity. Recent geological and palaeoecological data from the GBR suggests that
the equilibrium between sedimentation and resuspension of the deposit impacts the reef growth.
What is more favorable for coral reef initiation and distribution are low sediment deposition
rates2. Improvement in agricultural practices can prevent the chemicals flowing onto the reef3.
The farmers need to make fundamental changes in their agricultural and land use practices.

50% of the live coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef has already been lost and
documented for over the last 30 years. The most significant challenges for GBR management
include anthropogenic threats such as climate change, coral-eating starfish and poor water
quality4. The Great Barrier Reef must be protected and managed for current and future
generations. Every year, about $200 million is spent by the Australian and Queensland
governments on the protection of the reef5.
The Australian government is working hard to manage the Great Barrier Reef and control
pollution. The Great Barrier Reef Committee and the Royal Society of London performed the
first comprehensive assessment of the GBR in 19286. The Australian Labor Party and the
Liberal Party of Australia are the two major Australian political parties who have contributed to
the climate policies7. These policies have varied significantly over the years. The unpredictable
nature of Australian climate policy can be attributed to the nature of the political party in power.
Several plans and programs are run for the safety and protection of the Great Barrier Reef such
as Reef 2050 Long-Term Sustainability Plan, The Reef Trust, Great Barrier Reef Gully, and
Streambank Joint Program8. Reef Trust worth over $700 million remains committed to improve
quality of water, restore health of coastal ecosystem and protect the species in the Great Barrier
Reef. Great Barrier Reef Gully and Streambank Joint Program places its focus on sediment run-
off and control the erosion. Reef 2050 Long-Term Sustainability Plan designs a framework to
safeguard the Reef in both short term and long term.

A report by six natural resources management suggests that it will cost hundreds of
millions to enhance the water quality on the Great Barrier Reef in the coming years. All Great
Barrier Reef stakeholders have been warned that the present funding by state and federal
government is insufficient to defend the reef11. The funding is needed to improve water quality,
deal with chemical pollutants, stormwater management and for education programs. The long-
term sustainability plan aims for 90% of agricultural land under best practices and a 60%
reduction in pesticides. Tensions have developed over the last few years over the use of the
Marine Park for commercial and leisure activities12. It is challenging to uphold the long-term
maintenance of the Great Barrier Reef under the mounting pressures of climate change,
increasing population, coastal development, tourism and fishing over the last decade.
Identification of the stakeholders/actors
In the framework of climate change, stakeholders are usually divided into those who are
affected directly or indirectly by the climate change consequences and the decision-makers13.
The stakeholders can affect change, carry knowledge or skills, are affected by climate risk and
work in the interests of their community. Local and regional communities and stakeholders
contributed to the development and implementation of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Stakeholders included the tourism industry, the scientific community, recreational and
commercial fishers and related businesses like shipping and maritime. The perceptions of some
key stakeholder groups were that the scientific evidence was not clear and not compelling14.

Recreational and commercial fishing stakeholders felt that their concerns were unheard and
many showed mistrusts in the authorities and their resource allocation decisions.
Characteristics of a wicked problem in the policy
Most of the time, the semimetal policies fail to deliver because of poor management,
weaker implementation, and lack of resources, and coordination. However, there are much more
complex problems and underlying reasons that can help to comprehend the complete scope of the
problem. Long-term political will and funding assurances are essential to address the different
insights of the involved stakeholders15. Effective adaptation and implementation of a policy or
program require strategic frameworks, systematic information, effective communication, and
technologies. Broader community support too is needed for a more sustainable climate change
response and behavioural changes. The Great Barrier Reef management occurs within a
multifaceted policy environment and national and State legislation and programs that intersect
with the regulation of the Marine Park. Australia’s Oceans Policy, fisheries management, coastal
development, customs, maritime safety, and energy. In the framework of climate change,
stakeholders are usually divided into those who are affected directly or indirectly by the climate
change consequences and the decision-makers. The stakeholders can affect change, carry
knowledge or skills, are affected by climate risk and work in the interests of their community.16.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act 1975 has accomplished its initial aim of setting
