As sediments carried by rivers enter coastal waters, fine particles can reduce the amount of light that reaches the reef through light attenuation. The Fitzroy Estuary - Keppel Bay (FE-KB), being the second-largest source of sediments to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) poses a significant threat to the...
