The latest issue of Grind™ magazine features a fantastic article about a $200 million program to improve the water quality of the Great Barrier Reef lagoon by reducing potential nutrient, pesticide and sediment load, while helping improve farm productivity and profitability, is saving one of the natural wonders of the world.

When the Federal Government committed $200 million in 2008 to a five year plan that aims to better protect one of the world’s most magnificent natural assets in the Great Barrier Reef, it was initially treated with scepticism.

But almost four years on, the Reef Rescue initiative has brought together almost 2000 farmers and graziers who have been engaged and trained to graft a better understanding and improved use of natural resources.
