Advancing our understanding of the source, management, transport and impacts of pesticides on the Great Barrier Reef. A report for the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection

Abstract

This report provides a synthesis of the key findings of pesticide research conducted in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and is designed to update the previous 2006 – 2010 synthesis report by Devlin and Lewis (2011). The report was commissioned and supported by the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP). We have attempted to capture all relevant published pesticide research which has been conducted since 2009 through various funding agencies as well as, where relevant, unpublished or soon-to-be published information.
