31 INTRODUCTION The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP) covers an area of approximately 350,000 km2 and spans almost 2,000 km of the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The GBRMP is a marine ecosystem that is recognised internationally for its unique biological and physical features. Fifteen river catchments, covering an area of approximately 375,000 km2, drain directly into the GBRMP (Figure 1). Land use in these catchments is dominated in areal terms by grazing.
