NESP MaC Project 1.16 - Research needs for assessment and monitoring of nutrients, chemicals and antimicrobials in the marine environment
This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub scoping study - "Research needs for assessment and monitoring of nutrients, chemicals and antimicrobials in the marine environment". No data outputs were generated by this project.
--------------------
Water quality can be impacted by a large suite of chemical and microbiological contaminants introduced from a variety of sources. There are a number of emerging contaminants and broad ranges of point sources, including a variety of chemical (e.g. heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, nutrients) and microbiological (e.g. pathogens, antibiotic resistant microbes) contaminants that are discharged in sewage, stormwater, estuarine flows and industrial wastes. This project will involve a desktop scoping study to collate relevant datasets and current water quality monitoring goals and activities; engage with key stakeholders through workshops, interviews, and surveys to further define priorities; and conduct a risk assessment to assess impacts to marine and coastal water quality. This project will deliver a clear framework for highlighting knowledge gaps, future research directions and water quality management priorities.
Outputs

- Purpose
- To identify knowledge and data gaps pertaining to coastal and ocean water quality, by defining the key established and emerging chemical and microbiological water contaminants within Australian marine environments and their relative threats. This will inform decisions for prioritising research and water quality management foci.
