Wetlands in the Great Barrier Reef Catchments Management Strategy 2016–21

The Wetlands in the Great Barrier Reef Catchments Management Strategy 2016–21 supports the updated Reef 2050 Long-Term Sustainability Plan July 2018 and the Reef 2050 Water Quality Improvement Plan 2017–2022, setting out a framework for the improved management of the wetlands of the Great Barrier Reef catchments.

It builds on the achievements of the Queensland Wetlands Program and recognises wetlands as vital to the health of the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem and its catchments.

This strategy includes 5 themes: improved information; planning; on-ground management; communication and education; and evaluation, review and improvement.
