Nutrient Assimilative Capacity of Queensland Estuaries

The focus of this study is on assimilative capacity of estuaries to sustainably receive and process nutrients with the view to better regulate point source discharges, particularly within the Great Barrier Reef catchment in Queensland. Point source activities that discharge nutrients to an estuary have the potential to significantly influence receiving water quality, particularly during ambient, non-event periods. This document summarises project work to date prior to publication of a full technical report later in 2025.
