A Reef Rescue Showcase will be held, 8 – 9 June in Cairns to promote the work of regional groups, landholders and rural industries to improve water quality flowing into the Great Barrier Reef lagoon. The event will allow regional bodies and industry groups to share data and research results and to showcase positive practice change stories from across the Reef Rescue catchments.

The program features a range of landholders implementing Reef Rescue projects on their properties as well as overviews from key industry organisations.The regional NRM groups involved in Reef Rescue will also present on key program outcomes including foundations for measuring change; best-practice science and engagement; and partnerships for practice change.

Reef Rescue is a $200 million five-year initiative, funded by the Australian Government’s Caring for Our Country Program. Reef Rescue aims to improve the quality of water flowing into the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon. The Reef Rescue Showcase is a joint initiative of Queensland Regional NRM Groups Collective and Queensland Farmers Federation.
