The Fitzroy Estuary and Keppel Bay system in Queensland, Australia, is the focus of this dataset from the Fitzroy Agricultural Contaminants Project. The data likely contains measurements related to the fate and impact of nutrients and sediments discharged from the Fitzroy River into the Great Barrier Reef lagoon. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in June 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling the transport and fate of agricultural contaminants based on nutrient and sediment data mentioned in the description
- Assessing the impact of catchment-derived materials on reef health based on biogeochemical measurements
- Analyzing estuarine physical processes influencing contaminant dispersion in the Keppel Bay system
Strengths
- Focuses on the Fitzroy River, which delivers the second largest quantity of materials to the Great Barrier Reef lagoon
- Dataset is associated with a formal research project, the Fitzroy Agricultural Contaminants Project
- Last updated date is precisely recorded as 2026-06-27 18:23:34.160885
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Available file formats are HTML and PDF, which may not be directly machine-readable for analysis
