Congratulations to our partners North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation and James Cook University (JCU), who won the Outstanding Collaboration for National Benefit category at the 2019 BHERT awards, which celebrate leading university and business collaborations.
Data collected by NQBP and JCU is also used in the Mackay-Whitsunday Healthy Rivers to Reef Partnership’s (HR2P) annual waterway health report card, alongside multiple other marine data sets.
HR2P’s Executive Officer, Charlie Morgan, said: “It’s great to see the JCU and NQBP collaboration recognised via this prestigious award. We firmly believe a partnership approach involving multiple sectors is the key to providing comprehensive waterway health information for a complex system such as the Great Barrier Reef and its adjacent catchments.”
