 PADDOCK TO REEF INTEGRATED MONITORING, MODELLING AND REPORTING PROGRAM

BURDEKIN SUGARCANE SCIENCE FORUM

Burdekin PCYC, Ayr — 21 June

The Paddock to Reef Program (P2R) monitors and measures changes in contaminant loads and links on-ground practice changes with water quality data. It brings the work of many projects together, providing a framework for evaluating and reporting on progress to the 2025 targets in the Reef 2050 Water Quality Improvement Plan. This forum is part of the monthly NQ Dry Tropics’ P2R Conversations Series.
