How do you name a reef in the Great Barrier Reef? One way is to propose a name to the Queensland Government, responsible for naming reefs lying within Coastal Waters on the GBR.

Here, we propose ‘Monument Reef’ for the spectacular 500m-tall detached reef discovered during the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s RV Falkor multibeam mapping in the northern GBR.

Information on the Monument Reef Place Name Proposal, and to making a submission can be found at ‘Have your say’
