The government accepts the scientific advice relating to the reef and global climate change, and the scientific advice that our initiatives will make the reef more resilient. The Morrison government is meeting its international climate commitments. It is investing $3.5 billion in its climate solutions plan. We are investing an unprecedented $1.2 billion in protecting the reef from threats such as crown-of-thorns starfish, marine litter and illegal fishing. We are working with scientists, local communities, farmers, traditional owners and tourism groups to improve water quality and maintain the reef as one of the world's great tourism destinations.
