Final Report - Monitoring of organic chemicals in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park using time integrated monitoring tools (2009-2010)

摘要

The Reef Rescue Marine Monitoring Program (MMP) was established in 2005 to assess any improvement in water quality in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and the status of key ecosystems. Annual monitoring of inshore GBR sites and several rivers has been conducted by Entox since 2005. The principal objective of the monitoring activities conducted by Entox as part of MMP Project 3.7.8 during 2009 – 2010 was to: “Determine time integrated baseline concentrations of specific organic chemicals in water with the aim to evaluate long term trends in pesticide concentrations along inshore waters of the GBR”
