GREAT BARRIER REEF
• Nutrient & pesticide inputs to the Great Barrier Reef are of concern to the welfare
of the marine ecosystem.
• A large part of Ptotal in rivers is found to be
 PO43-  supported on sediment particles.
• Monitoring of
Ptotal needs to
focus on the
high flow events
during the Wet.
• N.B. [H4SiO4]
behaves in the
opposite
manner as it is not supported on sediments.
