Abstract

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority’s Marine Monitoring Program was established in 2005 to monitor the inshore health of the Great Barrier Reef. This document reports on the annual and long-term condition and trend of water quality in the Great Barrier Reef (the Reef). The program design includes the collection of water samples along transects in the Cape York, Wet Tropics, Burdekin and Mackay-Whitsunday regions year-round, with higher frequency sampling during the wet season to better characterise this period of episodic river discharge. Satellite imagery and modelling simulations are linked with in situ monitoring data to estimate the exposure of inshore areas to end-of-catchment loads from rivers.
