reef report cards.
The Wet Tropics Report Card is part of a network of report cards that are reporting on progress being made towards the Reef 2050 Long-term Sustainability Plan, Australia’s overarching framework for protecting the Great Barrier Reef until 2050.
Great Barrier Reef Report Card
The Great Barrier Reef Report Card assesses the combined results of all Reef Plan activities.
The primary source of agricultural data for the Reef Report Card is the Paddock to Reef Integrated Monitoring, Modelling and Reporting Program.
Natural Resource Management bodies, industry organisations, QDAF and other agencies and projects collect farming practice information from farmers who are engaged in Reef programs. Data is collected initially and again after undergoing improvements in farm management. This information is pooled by catchment so it is kept anonymous but allows the effect of changes on the ground to be assessed.
The results are based on reported improvements and are analysed to show an estimate of the annual average reduction in pollutant loads entering the Great Barrier Reef from agriculture.
Obtaining accurate information is vital for us to understand what is happening on the ground so we can tell the story about the impacts of improved farming practices.
