The project, undertaken through a research collaboration between Monash University, the University of Melbourne and CSIRO, and in partnership with regional natural resource management agencies, aimed to:
- to develop guidelines for risk-based approaches that can be used to prioritise ecological risks from multiple contaminants in a catchment context (i.e. multiple-stressors resulting in multiple issues)
- to develop and apply quantitative models of ecosystem components and relationships to address key issues of concern
- to increase the capacity in Australian natural resource management agencies to use risk-based assessment approaches.
