The Reef 2050 Integrated Monitoring and Reporting Program (RIMReP or the Program) is a partnership that includes the Australian and Queensland governments, together with Traditional Owners.
The Reef Knowledge System, as the website for the Program, is also a partnership. The Program is funded through the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, the Reef Trust Partnership, and contributions from each partner.

Queensland Department of Environment and Science (DES)
The Office of the Great Barrier Reef within the DES forms part of the Executive Steering Committee for the Reef 2050 Plan. DES also represents the Qld component in the joint field management program – established under the Intergovernmental.Agreement for the Great Barrier Reef. Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), who co-manage the Reef with the Authority, will also be one of the primary users of data from the program and decision support tools generated.
