Farmers protect Great Barrier Reef

Protect Great Barrier Reef



Many farmers in the Great Barrier Reef catchment area have adopted practices to protect the quality of water run-off in the region, a government study shows.

Queensland's farmers are under pressure to change land management practices to protect creeks and rivers flowing out to the reef.
The survey by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released on Tuesday found that 73 per cent of farmers in the region use practices to directly manage surface water run-off.

Almost all (97 per cent) undertook at least one management practice - such as soil testing - to decide how much fertiliser to apply to their crops, the ABS Environment team found.
It also found that there was a high rate of non-chemical weed and pest controls.

A total of 60 per cent of farmers reported using mechanical controls, such as mulching, while 48 per cent used biological controls.
But the survey also found major differences across the region in the take-up of land management practices.

"This can reflect physical conditions such as rainfall patterns, the shape of the land and river locations, as well as reflecting social and economic factors," the ABS Environment team's Michael Vardon said releasing the findings.
He said by-products of the region's sugar mills - mill mud and dunder - are widely used as fertiliser and over a million tonnes were used during 2008/09, but only in areas near the mills.

"These areas may need a different approach to controlling run-off from areas that receive chemical fertilisers," Dr Vardon said.

Agnes Water often called Agnes Waters and it is common for Lady Musgrave Island to be called Lady Musgrove Island and Captain Cook to Captian Cook and Capitan Cook or Captan Cook, with the Town of Seventeen Seventy now known as 1770 that would be hard to misspell for anyone. The correct spelling of Bundaburg Queensland, is Bundaberg.
