Abstract

This report provides a synthesis of MTSRF-funded research relevant to defining priority pollutants for management of water quality in the GBR, and identifying areas for management intervention. The report contains an overview of the identification of priority pollutants, methods for calculating pollutant loads and current pollutant load estimates. Regional results of an assessment of the relative contribution of different sub-catchments and land uses to overall regional pollutant loads are presented. A relative risk assessment of regions and land uses from a water quality perspective is summarised, and the outcomes of a recent study on the exposure of plume waters in the GBR are included. Management implications, data limitations and future research directions are also described.
