Sediment progradation rates in the central Great Barrier Reef lagoon decrease from 2.5 meters per year at the Burdekin River delta front to 0.1 meters per year north of Townsville. The dataset describes four distinct sedimentary assemblages forming the prograding shoreline: beach-ridge plain, chenier plain, mangrove-mud-flat plain, and barrier bar-lagoon complex. It models the distribution of fluvially derived mud and relict sands, suggesting terrigenous sediments dominate most of the lagoon shelf.
