Project Description
Mary Maher designed and facilitated
the Reef Summit, a joint Commonwealth and State Government initiative to frame
the priority actions and governance arrangements to deliver on key water quality
targets for the Reef and its catchments. The Summit was the chance for industry,
environment, scientists and agencies to discuss what initiatives are needed to
deliver drastic reductions in sediments, nutrients and pesticides through
improved farming practices.
The result is an updated State Reef Protection Plan informing expenditure of the
Commonwealth Government’s Reef Rescue funding.
