The aim of this project is to develop a risk assessment framework applicable to the key focus catchments and significant locations that meet stakeholder needs, within the region of the TRIAP. In addition to providing a broad overview of the major pressures on tropical Australia’s aquatic ecosystems, the key component of this study is more detailed risk assessments for the focus catchments, being the Daly River (NT), Flinders River (Qld) and Fitzroy River (WA).
