Abstract

This review outlines research and management into water quality in the The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) region, including the GBR proper and its catchment (Brodie and Pearson 2016). The science is reviewed until 2016, while an analysis of science to management ends at the formation of the Reef Water Quality Protection Plan (Reef Plan 2003) in 2003. However, debates regarding the resolution of scientific questions for management through to 2016 are discussed. An analysis of the success of management of the GBR since 2003, the current state of knowledge of the issue drawn from the 2013 Scientific Consensus Statement (Brodie et al. 2013a), including new knowledge gained in the period 2013 – 2016, a summary of the management plans being applied in 2016 and beyond, and assessment of the management steps needed to improve water quality in the GBR lagoon such that GBR water quality guidelines are largely met, and the likelihood of further substantive progress in managing the issue are discussed in Brodie and Pearson (2016).
