Awarded to University of Queensland, Australian National University,
and Stanford University researchers in early 2005, this 3-year
project is investigating the critical links between long-term
changes in coastal land use, mangrove health, and inshore Great
Barrier Reef (GBR) water quality and reef ecosystems. Project
reports will be published on this site, primarily for the benefit
of our industry partners and interested members of the public.
We invite your feedback through the guest.
