塔斯马尼亚南部的一个关键需求是制定一种标准化的方法来收集、分析和提供沿海和河口状况信息。NRM南部与塔斯马尼亚水产和渔业研究所（TAFI）合作，为塔斯马尼亚南部NRM地区制定了沿海和河口资源状况评估（CERCA）框架。
该框架旨在提高沿海和河口水质信息的价值和可用性。这将克服目前缺乏数据和信息交流有限的问题。
该框架汇集了一系列利益攸关方-其中一些人收集水质数据-他们都将受益于数据可获得性的提高以及标准的收集、整理和分发方法。
这一项目的发展涉及制定一项宣传战略、审查现有数据、评价关键价值和威胁以及确定优先监测地点。随后选择了监测方法，并评价了利益攸关方协助项目执行的能力。随后，该项目与包括社区团体、地方政府、行业机构和国家机构在内的利益攸关方建立了一些伙伴关系。这些伙伴关系增强了收集、分析和呈现水质数据的能力。
CERCA方案的一次成功试验产生了一些重要的产出，包括确定了一些环境健康指标的基线，这反过来又有助于确定初步触发水平。这些初步触发水平可用于确定河口和沿海沃茨的状况，协助规划和管理决策，并作为进一步调查的警报。试验表明，在建立这种基准时，迫切需要当地数据。
从试验中获得的数据已存入一个可广泛访问的集中数据库。这些数据随后以一系列格式进行解释，以满足各个利益攸关方的需要。
总体成果是通过建立一个标准化（和试验性）的水质监测方案、一个所有利益相关者都可以随时访问的单一数据库以及一个有效的报告机制来向利益相关者和管理者传达水质和资源状况信息，从而更好地管理塔斯马尼亚州的水资源。
The development of a standardised means of collecting, analysing and presenting coastal and estuarine condition information has been identified as a key need for southern Tasmania. NRM South, in partnership with the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (TAFI), has developed a Coastal and Estuarine Resource Condition Assessment (CERCA) framework for the Southern NRM Region of Tasmania.
The framework aims to improve the value and availability of coastal and estuarine water quality information. This will overcome the lack of data, and the limited exchange of information that currently exists.
The framework brings together a range of stakeholders – some of whom collect water quality data – who will all benefit from increased data accessibility and standard collection, collation and distribution methods.
The development of this project involved the development of a communication strategy, a review of existing data, an evaluation of the key values and threats, and identification of priority monitoring sites. This was followed by the selection of monitoring methods and an evaluation of stakeholder capacity to assist in the project implementation. Subsequently a number of partnerships were developed between the project and stakeholders, including community groups, local governments, industry bodies and state agencies. These partnerships have enhanced the capacity to collect, analyse and present water quality data.
A successful trial of the CERCA program has resulted in a number of significant outputs, including the determination of baselines for a number of indicators of environmental health, which in turn have allowed for the identification of preliminary trigger levels. These preliminary trigger levels can be used to determine the condition of estuaries and coastal waters, assist in planning and management decision-making, and act as alerts for further investigation. The trial has demonstrated the critical need for local data when establishing such benchmarks.
Data obtained from the trial have been placed in a centralised database that is widely accessible. These data have then been interpreted in a range of formats to suit the needs of individual stakeholders.
The overall outcome is better management of Tasmania’s water resources by having a standardised (and trialled) monitoring program for water quality, a single database that is readily accessible to all stakeholders, and an effective reporting mechanism to communicate water quality and resource condition information to stakeholders and managers.
