大堡礁（GBR）是一个世界遗产区，拥有广阔的珊瑚礁、海草草甸和渔业资源。从邻近的集水区，许多河流排出农业、城市、采矿和工业活动的污染物。已查明污染源，包括放牧地区侵蚀产生的悬浮沉积物；农田施肥产生的硝酸盐；以及各种土地用途的除草剂。这些污染物在接收海洋环境中的命运和影响已相对较好地了解。澳大利亚和昆士兰州政府对集水区径流污染GBR的担忧作出了回应，于2003年制定了一项解决这一问题的计划（珊瑚礁计划；2009年更新），2007年提出了基于奖励的自愿管理倡议（珊瑚礁救援），并于2009年采取了一项国家监管办法，即《珊瑚礁保护一揽子计划》。本文回顾了与流域到GBR连续体相关的新研究，并评估了当前管理响应的适当性。(C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is a World Heritage Area and contains extensive areas of coral reef, seagrass meadows and fisheries resources. From adjacent catchments, numerous rivers discharge pollutants from agricultural, urban, mining and industrial activity. Pollutant sources have been identified and include suspended sediment from erosion in cattle grazing areas; nitrate from fertiliser application on crop lands; and herbicides from various land uses. The fate and effects of these pollutants in the receiving marine environment are relatively well understood. The Australian and Queensland Governments responded to the concerns of pollution of the GBR from catchment runoff with a plan to address this issue in 2003 (Reef Plan; updated 2009), incentive-based voluntary management initiatives in 2007 (Reef Rescue) and a State regulatory approach in 2009, the Reef Protection Package. This paper reviews new research relevant to the catchment to GBR continuum and evaluates the appropriateness of current management responses. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
