Australia New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality

The Australia New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality set standards to protect water environments, ensuring they are safe and healthy for ecosystems and human use. They specify acceptable levels of pollutants and require regular testing to prevent pollution, safeguard aquatic life, and support activities like fishing and recreation. The guidelines help policymakers and industries manage water quality effectively, aiming for sustainable water resources that benefit both the environment and communities. Ultimately, they provide a science-based framework to keep water clean, safe, and resilient for current and future needs.
