Full description 1. Design of a pilot sub-catchment scale monitoring, modelling and extension program, based on end-user workshop, existing risk assessments, monitoring and modelling programs, for subsequent implementation with farmer’s support to identify reef pollutant “spikes/hotspots”, their causes and the necessary areas for extension to improve management. 2. Pilot implementation to test the design with the assistance of farmers, extension providers, etc in a particular local area to underpin future initiatives such as nutrient trading. 3. Subsequently, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of an extension program based on any refinements resulting from the pilot study findings. 4. Use of additional information from implementation as one line of evidence assisting in development and trialing of market based instruments.
