Monitoring data, estuary models and catchment models developed by the Regional Estuaries Initiative underpin recommended management actions to protect and improve water quality.

Water quality improvement plans outline which catchment management actions will drive the biggest improvement in water quality, taking into consideration cost, feasibility and community values.

Where water quality improvement plans report on what needs to be done, implementation and action plans address how the recommended management actions will be achieved.

As a part of the initiative a number of documents have been developed:

• Peel-Harvey Water Quality Improvement Plan
• Leschenault Implementation Plan (to be developed by Leschenault Catchment Council)
• Scott River Action Plan (developed by Lower Blackwood LCDC)
