摘要

Loads of suspended sediment, nutrients and pesticides discharged to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) have increased greatly due to agricultural and urban development of the GBR catchment. As a result, in association with climate change impacts, the ecosystems of the GBR have degraded greatly in recent decades, and the decline in ecosystem health continues. Improved agricultural management practices are now being funded to reverse the decline. However the quantum of reduction in contaminant loads from individual rivers needed to reverse the decline is not known. To estimate load reductions that would reverse the decline we developed what we term Ecologically Relevant Targets (ERTs). These targets are the load reductions of sediment, nutrients and pesticides needed such that GBR lagoonal waters meet the relevant water quality guidelines for the region. The methodology proposed for setting the ERTs is described and examples of ERTs set for the Burdekin Region of the GBR are given. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
