This report summarises the research and identifies key water quality issues that need to be addressed in the future. The Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility (MTSRF) will play a pivotal role in investigating these priority research needs.	Download Research Report 24 Theme 5 JCU Brodie, J. et al.
