Funded Activity Summary

The importance of sediment denitrification in the nitrogen budget of the inshore wet tropics section of the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon. The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is a World Heritage Area that has significant ecological, economical and social values for the Australian (world) community. Nutrient over-enrichment (eutrophication) associated with runoff from adjacent catchments is a major threat to the GBR. This study will quantify what proportion of the terrestrial nitrogen load delivered to the inshore wet tropics section of the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon is removed through sediment denitrification. Critical information for understanding the process of eutrophication in the GBR Lagoon that will be used by our Industry Partner in the management, rehabilitation and protection of the GBR.
