This report presents the results of the eReefs Pilot project commissioned by the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) Foundation, in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Marine Science, CSIRO, the GBR Marine Park Authority, the Australian and Queensland Governments, and Telstra. The study aims to demonstrate the potential of linking catchment, lagoon and oceanic models across the Reef environment. It made use of existing data and models for running, orchestrating and visualising various scenarios and delivered four major work packages: development of the eReefs Google Earth Water Quality Visualisation Platform, orchestration of the Fitzroy Catchment, Estuary and the whole of GBR Lagoon models in a workflow environment, examination and visualisation of a number of catchment, estuary and lagoon scenarios, and reconstruction of two historical flood plume events in the Burdekin River and nearby coastal waters. The study has highlighted a unique opportunity to transform our understanding, knowledge and prediction of the Reef environment and ecosystem through a comprehensive and coordinated investment in an operational information platform across enormous spatial and temporal scales for the GBR. It has paved the way for a more robust and detailed development and realisation of the fully operational eReefs which is an integrated operational system of critical data sources, forecasting and hindcasting models and visualisation and reporting services, and delivers a comprehensive suite of management tools using real-time or near-real-time information across the paddock-to-ocean scale for the GBR.
