Abstract

Water Quality in the Whitsunday has been deteriorating since monitoring began in 2007. The tourism industry have expressed that they often feel in the dark, regarding reef or marine monitoring and its outcomes. Consequently, The Whitsunday Water Quality Monitoring Blueprint for Tourism Operators, aims to link citizen science and research initiatives for reef health with water quality to collaboratively develop a framework for connecting citizen science work with the regional report card partnership hosted by Reef Catchments. This project focuses on utlising proven research, science experience and methodology to train Whitsunday tourism operators to collect marine monitoring data at key locations within the Whitsunday region.
