The Great Keppel Island Research Centre could be a vital tool for the management of the southern part of the Great Barrier Reef, according to the draft Memo.

According to the developer, the Centre would conduct research programs, undertake conservation activities on the island and within the marine park, monitor coral communities and facilitate student and professional research activities.
