Part 3 of 3 - Mitigating streambank erosion

The Mary River catchment is the fourth highest contributor of fine sediment to the Great Barrier Reef. The Australian Government Reef Trust program is focused on streambank protection in the Mary River catchment, as streambank erosion is known to contribute the greatest majority of sediment out of the catchment to the Great Barrier reef.
The Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee works closely with landholders to reduce the amount of sediment entering the Great Barrier Reef by prioritising sites and performing small to large scale works.
