AgForce has partnered with the Australian Government and six Natural Resource Management (NRM) groups and industry organisations to improve water quality entering the Great Barrier Reef lagoon.

By providing primary producers and landholders with the tools, technologies and information required to adopt best management practices (BMPs), Reef Rescue partners will help reduce nutrient, pesticide and sediment run-off entering reef catchments from agricultural land.

Marlborough grazier Alf Collins Jnr says the Australian Government’s Caring for our Country Reef Rescue program is improving his property’s river frontage and boosting productivity.

For his family’s property ‘Belah Valley’, Mr Collins has received a substantial Reef Rescue grant administered by FRCC to fence to land types and add new stock watering points.
