This report aims to more accurately predict and understand impacts and trends in water quality as well as ecological responses in primary producers (seagrass) and grazers (turtles) that have been assessed as being vulnerable due to expansion of development in the Port of Gladstone. In addition, develop tools that can be used to determine management options that may lead to the reduction of impacts on these key ecological assets in the future, well beyond the Port Curtis and the current phase of development.
Final report, April 2015.
