Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to analyze from a multiple helix approach, the relationships between industry, government, business, society and the natural environment in the Great Barrier Reef region of Australia. The main findings suggest that innovation systems are important in sustaining World Heritage Areas such as the Great Barrier Reef. As the world’s largest marine park the results highlight the influence of university-industry-business on the regional development and innovation of the area. The chapter has implications for practice in terms of highlighting the importance of sustainable entrepreneurship approaches and theoretical implications for the design of research linking multiple helix approaches to the natural environment. Suggestions for future research linking regional innovation policies to the natural environment and sustainability are stated.
