Water Quality Index for inshore water quality in each NRM region

The Water Quality Index integrates multiple water quality parameters to show condition and trend of inshore water quality in each NRM region (relative to the GBR Water Quality Guidelines). Colours indicate condition. Circles represent the long-term trend in water quality (since 2005), which is not sensitive to year-to-year variability (e.g., a “large” wet season). Squares represent the annual condition in water quality, which is sensitive to year-to-year variability. For further details, see the Marine Monitoring Program: Annual report for inshore water quality monitoring 2017-18 available at http://hdl.handle.net/11017/3490
