The federal government is set to make its largest-ever investment in saving the Great Barrier Reef, announcing an additional $1 billion towards improving water quality, reef management and research.
The government hopes the funding will help protect more than 64,000 jobs and $6.4 billion in tourism dollars attached to the reef economy.
More than half of the funding will go towards improving water quality through remediating erosion, improving land condition and reducing nutrient and pesticide run-off.
