Dry Tropics Partnership for Healthy Waters

The Townsville Dry Tropics Partnership for Healthy Waters is a waterways focused initiative made up of stakeholders from industry, scientific research, education, community and all levels of government.

The Partnership produces Report Cards and scientific summaries that provide our community with an independent picture of the ecological, social and economic health of our waterways and Reef in the Dry Tropics region.

The waterways of the Dry Tropics include all freshwater, estuaries and coastal waters that link the land to the  Great Barrier Reef.

The Report Card will help guide future planning and investment into waterway, marine catchment and Reef health.

Healthy waterways are essential to our region as they support life, tourism, agriculture  and recreation.
