The Framework for Marine and Estuarine Water Quality Protection provides a reference for water managers and jurisdictional authorities.
Strategies contained in the framework document may be used to develop a consistent approach to protect coastal waters by:
- managing the adverse effects of land-based activities on water quality
- reducing land-based pollution.
This framework guided the development of water quality improvement plans (WQIP) for key coastal waterways (hotspots) threatened by pollution.
