THE Fitzroy Regionâs coastal ecosystems are in safe hands after the Australian Governmentâs Reef Trust provided $4 million to fund a number of important environmental programs over the next two-and-a-half years.
The funding was directed to Central Queenslandâs natural resource management body Fitzroy Basin Association (FBA), who have 23 years of experience developing and delivering projects that protect the regionâs natural assets; including the Great Barrier Reef.
Spanning the coast line between St Lawrence and Boyne Island, the FBAâs multifaceted project was designed to work with local communities and stakeholders to protect iconic species and the overall health and resilience of the Great Barrier Reef and associated coastal habitats.
