Farmers’ Changes Boost Reef Water Quality | Brisbane News
Description
Farmers’ land management changes are delivering major wins for the Great Barrier Reef—new research reveals dramatic improvements in water quality thanks to reduced fertilizer use, with two studies confirming cleaner runoff is helping corals recover from bleaching. Over 30 years, sugarcane growers slashed synthetic fertilizer by up to 50%, and a century-long analysis shows 75% of monitored catchments improved. With UNESCO’s 2028 deadline looming, this long-term data proves farmers are making a real difference—and it’s critical for reef survival amid climate change.
