Human Health Condition Indicators
We are trying to identify indicators that link changes in ecological health of the reef to changes in human health or vice versa. There is a growing body of evidence that indicates a decline in human health as a result of deteriorating environmental conditions. It will be important to investigate how these indicators can contribute to improving human health and enviromental health.
Specific issues include:
• What public health concerns are most directly related to the condition of the MAR environment?
• Has the decline in the reef’s overall condition affected public health and vice versa?
