Report On Draft Aquatic Ecosystem Water Quality Guidelines For The Capricorn Curtis Coast

This report describes the development of local physico-chemical water quality guidelines (WQGs) for the protection of the 'aquatic ecosystem' environmental value in waters of the Capricorn-Curtis Coast region. They include fresh, estuarine and coastal/marine waters to the limit of Queensland waters. The report forms part of the Capricorn-Curtis Coast environmental values (EVs) project, undertaken by the Queensland Government in collaboration with Fitzroy Basin Association (FBA), pursuant to the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy 2009. The guidelines in this report will provide the basis for a public consultation exercise that will be conducted by the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection.
