The environmental management charge (EMC) is associated with most commercial activities and facilities operating under a Reef Authority permit.

The funds received from EMC are applied directly to the day-to-day management of the Marine Park and are vitally important to improving its long-term resilience. By visiting the Reef, you are protecting the Reef.
