WATERWAYS SURVEY – TAKE PART & WIN!

We are giving away a brand new iPhone 15 (valued at over $1,500). Let us know your views on our region’s waterways to be in the running!

Participants must be over 18 years old and live in the Mackay, Whitsunday or Isaac region.

We will ask you questions about how you use and value our waterways, what you think of the current condition of local rivers, coasts and marine environments; and your opinion on how these are managed.

The survey is completely anonymous and should take less than 15 minutes.

This survey is being conducted in collaboration with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), and with funding and support provided by the partnership between the Australian Government’s Reef Trust and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, the Queensland Government’s Reef Water Quality Program, and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.

2023 Stewardship Report

2023 ABOVE AND BEYOND

The collection of stories is an impressive showcase of the breadth and variety of Stewardship activities that our Partners are involved in from investment, monitoring, on-ground action and everything in between. Our Stewardship Report demonstrates the power of collaboration and working together for healthy rivers and Reef.

Released every year, the 2023 edition is the Partnership’s fifth publication.
