The Whitsunday Water Quality Monitoring Blueprint for Tourism Operators project aims to increase understanding of water quality and reef health in the Whitsundays.

​

We have been working with other Tourism operators in the Whitsundays to collect data in this citizen science project to keep track of the water quality

in our area.

​

On 4 February 2020 Tourism operators, JCU, Reef Catchments and the Whitsunday Charter Boat Industry Association deployed two loggers. 

 

We have been maintaining these loggers every 4 weeks and will continue to do so until the project ends in 2021.

​

On the 6th of September 2021 an additional 3 crew members undertook training on how to take water quality samples.
