Major coverage

Reef Catchments has been working with the local Mackay Whitsunday community to identify and address a wide range of water quality issues across the region.

Hi,

I've lived in the beautiful Mackay Whitsunday region for over three years and handle the communications for Reef Catchments. 

In addition, I also run my own PR company, PROSE PR, which handles commercial sector events,  PR and a quirky treasure hunt called 'Treasure Hunt Mackay'.  I guess that pretty much fills up any spare time I would have.

My 15 yr old daughter is my great supporter.  It keeps her in iTunes, so she's thankful her mother is always working.

Two new reports have been released which improve our current understanding of water quality monitoring activities supporting the Reef Water Quality Protection Plan (Reef Plan) actions. The Water quality monitoring in Reef catchments (June 2008) report outlines what water quality monitoring programs occurred in the Great Barrier Reef (Reef) catchment during 2002-08.

The second report Water quality modeling for the Great Barrier Reef catchment and lagoon (June 2008) is a compilation of modeling activities undertaken in the Reef catchment during 2002-08.

Over 60 people from industry and community gathered at Grasstree Beach in Sarina for the launch of the Sarina Beach Coastal Sustainable Landscapes Project in May 2008.

Reef Catchments Mackay Whitsunday Inc. was fortunate to have three Federal Ministers in attendance. The Honourable Tony Burke, Federal Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry officially opened the project. Also present were Ms Kirsten Livermore, member for Capricornia, and Mr James Bidgood, member for Dawson.
