The Lihou Reef National Nature Reserve (Reserve) is one of two protected areas in the Coral Sea region.
It is clear that the reefs of the Lihou Reef National Nature Reserve are under significant pressure, especially from the effects of coral bleaching and cyclones.
This highlights the importance of maintaining a proportion of the reefs in the region as strict nature reserves (at present: Coringa-Herald NNR and Lihou Reef NNR) in an attempt to maintain the long-term viability of these habitats, ecosystems and native species, by preventing additional human impacts.
