This was the first marine research station established on the Reef. Ideas for the creation of such a facility originated in the 1920s with Committee members Henry C. Richards and Ernest Goddard, both of the University of Queensland, but did not come to fruition. In 1970 the University joined the Committee in the management of the Station, and assumed full responsibility in 1980. The Station is recognised internationally for its coral reef research and its student training facilities. Rohde, Klaus Hans Franz (1932 - 2024)
