Marine Monitoring Program Annual Report 2021-22 Water Quality

The water quality component of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Monitoring Program reports on the annual and long-term condition in inshore water quality of the Great Barrier Reef (the Reef) with reference to data over 17 years of monitoring. This year the water quality program is reporting in a summary report format: all of the core analyses have been conducted, but some secondary analyses that would be included in a full report have been omitted (modelling and mapping of river-derived dissolved inorganic nitrogen, fine sediment, and particulate nitrogen loads; and weekly condition assessments based on remote sensing analysis). Instead of including a detailed Discussion section in this summary report, key discussion items have instead been included in the Conclusions. This summary report has been internally reviewed by the Reef Authority but unlike a full report, it has not been externally peer-reviewed. However, the included analysis follows the same methods as in previous years which have been subject to extensive external peer-review throughout the Program’s 17-year history.
