Monitoring & Evaluation keeps track of milestones & monitors progress towards project outcomes. Our Landholders Driving Change project is undergoing an annual review with key stakeholders; adaptive management = outcomes for improved stewardship, land management & water quality.

Friday flick! A Nth Qld grazier talks about how he created a dam on property to tackle soil erosion, with the added benefit of creating additional cattle watering points, and providing wildlife habitat. Funded through @envirogov Reef Trust @AgChatOZ

Ready to roll out round 1 of the Grazing Resilience & Sustainable Solutions (GRASS) program, helping graziers improve land condition. Our team, including Linda (pictured) will provide one-on-one support. Funded through the @QldEnvironment Reef Water Quality Program. @FutureBeef

This time last year we held an event to connect scientists with farmers. @TropWATER reps visited the lower Burdekin to meet cane growers to discuss wetland health, fish passage & water quality. They also performed an electrofishing demonstration @CANEGROWERS #ThrowbackThursday

"I don't want my farm washing away or polluting the creek". Hear from #WetTropics #cane farmer Filippo Spataro & Joel from the #WetTropicsSugarIndustryPartnership about working the ground half as much, variable rate control systems etc: https://t.co/1B09ORawxm

As Australia’s lead managers of the #GreatBarrierReef, we monitor Reef health closely and issued weekly updates over summer. Read our statement about today's release of aerial survey findings: https://t.co/pJZ3rEq07x

Grow little trees grow! There are 5000 in this landslide area. They'll help to stop sediment flowing into #WetTropics waterways & out to the #GreatBarrierReef. Read more: https://t.co/XCQA5DLBpq #erosion @DNRMEmediaQld @DrAnthonyLynham #revegetation #sediment #graziers

Before tree-planting & earthworks comes baseline surveys... We're tracking changes in an area where floods tore strips off creek banks in the 2018-19 #wetseason. It's part of our #Mossman Integrated Catchment Repair Project, funded thru the Qld Govt. @DNRMEmediaQld @CANEGROWERS

We're rapt to see that Zuni bowls, constructed 10 months ago, are stopping #erosion on this #WetTropics farm. They stop sediment from flowing to the #GreatBarrierReef too.

First #Reef aerial surveys offshore from #Cairns to the #TorresStrait show nil to low #bleaching on outer-shelf reefs in this region. Moderate to severe bleaching in a small number of other locations surveyed. More surveys to come. Full update: https://t.co/hps5e5qYIc
