Urban areas cover 0.7% of the Great Barrier Reef catchment area and contribute 2% of the fine sediment load and 7% of dissolved inorganic nitrogen exports. A range of both structural measures (engineered; such as sediment control and upgrades to sewage treatment plants) and non-structural measures (such as policy, planning, […]
How are the combined impacts of multiple stressors (including water quality) affecting the health and resilience of Great Barrier Reef coastal and inshore ecosystems? [Q2.4.1] Would improved water quality help ecosystems cope with multiple stressors including climate change impacts, and if so, in what way? [Q2.4.2]
How is climate change currently influencing water quality in coastal and marine areas of the Great Barrier Reef, and how is this predicted to change over time? [Q2.2.1]
