This data collection was started in 2005 as part of the Reef Plan.

Nearshore water quality data from direct water sampling by Niskin cast (suspended solids; chlorophyll; nitrogen, phosphorus and organic carbon species; silicate), summarised for the whole Great Barrier Reef and for each Natural Resource Management (NRM) region, by year (2005/06, 2006/07, etc.) and season (dry season, May-Oct; and wet season, Nov-Apr). Salinity, secchi depth, and temprature.

From October 2007 data loggers are deployed at 14 sites to record readings of chlorophyll a and turbidity every 10 minutes.

Water column profiles of salinity, temperature and turbidity (as % transmission) using CTD casts.

Geographic areas (note not all locations have all data in all years/seasons) relate to the NRM regions: mainly Wet Tropics NRM, Burdekin NRM, Mackay Whitsunday NRM, Fitzroy NRM, some mention of Burnett Mary NRM and Cape York NRM.

From 2008 sampling points are focused close to inshore reefs.
