Southeast Queensland, Australia is a fast growing region. Rising populations have led to increased stresses on the region's rivers and coastal waters. However, there has historically been a lack of a shared vision on how to reconcile the needs of the region's population with the needs of the region's environment. In order to develop this shared vision, we used broad engagement, equitable partnerships and trusted science. This book documents the amazing journey we embarked on, that reshaped the relationship people had with the rivers and coastal waters of Southeast Queensland.
