Queensland Wetlands Program
In 2003, the Australian and Queensland governments established the Queensland Wetlands Program to protect wetlands in the Great Barrier Reef catchment and throughout Queensland.
The program is responsible for over 30 projects that are delivering a range of new mapping, information and decision-making tools that will enable government agencies, landowners, conservationists and regional land care bodies to protect and manage wetlands for future generations.
The Australian Government's Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, and the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency are the lead agencies, with other government departments and key stakeholders also involved in the program's implementation.
The program is funded through the Great Barrier Reef Coastal Wetlands Protection Program and the Queensland Natural Heritage Trust Wetlands Program.
The Queensland Wetlands Program is part of the Reef Water Quality Protection Plan, a ten-year plan to halt and reverse the declining water quality entering the Great Barrier Reef.
