Monitoring the marine physical and chemical environment within the Reef 2050 Integrated Monitoring and Reporting Program: final Report of the Marine Physical and Chemical Environment Expert Group

Reef water quality is also a pressure on many ecological, cultural, social and economic values through a range of physical and chemical processes. As such, understanding the physico-chemical environment is fundamental to many of the information needs and reporting requirements for management of the Reef.
