Reef Rescue R&D Regional Science Forum: Fitzroy

Informing Prioritisation of Reef Rescue 2 Delivery: 16 and 17 September, 2013

To facilitate uptake of Reef Rescue R&D results, five regional forums were resourced through Reef Rescue 2 to bring researchers, managers and research users together to review the research outcomes, and discuss how to progress these outcomes into practical on-ground benefits. Information relevant to the Mackay Whitsunday NRM region was presented in Rockhampton on 16 and 17th September 2013. The forum was coordinated by the RRRC in collaboration with Fitzroy Basin Association.

The forums will inform prioritisation of Reef Rescue 2 delivery, including guidance for water quality grants and systems repair projects, identification of future R&D needs, and provision of information for Water Quality Improvement Plans. The five regional forums have been well attended, generating robust discussions about how research results can inform on-ground actions and future investment.

The outcomes of all of the forums are combined into a summary report that will be uploaded soon.

The presentations delivered at the Forum are available below.
