Catchment and coastal reef advisory committee (CCRAC) 1st meeting 13 and 14 April 2010 Townsville summary document

Abstract

The Catchment and Coastal RAC was appointed in November 2009. The Committee's first meeting was held in Townsville on 13 and 14 April 2010. The GBRMPA's 2008 restructure saw a name change for the Water Quality and Coastal Development Group to the Coastal Ecosystem and Water Quality (CEWQ) Section, with an increased focus on the catchments and coastal environs and their major influence on water quality. As a result, the Water Quality RAC's name was changed to the Catchment and Coastal RAC. Several members of the Water Quality RAC are now members of the CCRAC, along with several new members with relevant expertise and/or stakeholder or government body representation.
