Abstract
⺠This study reports current and pre-European river pollutant loads to the GBR lagoon. ⺠The mean-annual load of total suspended solids has increased by 5.5 times. ⺠Mean-annual loads of nitrogen and phosphorus have increased by 5.7 and 8.9 times. ⺠The current mean-annual load of PSII herbicides is 30,000 kg/yr. ⺠These estimates can facilitate target setting and enable management prioritisation.
