Diffuse pollutant loads discharged from rivers on the east coast of Queensland have caused a decline in water quality in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon. The Reef Water Quality Protection Plan 2013 (Reef Plan) aims to halt and reverse the decline in water quality and enhance the resilience of the Reef. It also provides specific water quality and land management targets to be achieved in order to meet the Reef Plan goal.
