Gladstone Healthy Harbour Partnership GHHP

 ABOUT US 

The Gladstone Healthy Harbour Partnership (GHHP) was established in 2013 in response to growing concerns about the health and management of Gladstone Harbour — a complex system of rivers, wetlands, reefs, and islands that sits within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.

Bringing together 22 partner organisations from government, industry, research, Traditional Owner groups, and the community, GHHP works collaboratively to monitor and report on the environmental, social, cultural, and economic health of the harbour.

At the heart of GHHP’s work is the annual Gladstone Harbour Report Card — a transparent, science-based tool that distils data from 78 measures into clear scores and indicators. These reports support informed decision-making and help guide the sustainable management of the harbour.

Aligned with national initiatives like the Reef 2050 Long-Term Sustainability Plan, GHHP continues to serve as a trusted source of information and a platform for collaboration, ensuring a healthy, accessible, and working harbour for generations to come.

GHHP's vision is that Gladstone has a healthy, accessible, working harbour.

 INDEPENDENT SCIENCE PANEL 

The Gladstone Healthy Harbour Partnership (GHHP) is informed by open, transparent and independent peer-reviewed science, through an Independent Science Panel (ISP).

The role of the ISP is to ensure that the environmental, social, cultural, and economic challenges of policy, planning and opportunities, as they relate to achieving the GHHP vision, are supported by credible science. This is a review and oversight role, where the nature of project work carried out by collaborators or consultants on behalf of GHHP, to develop and monitor report card indicators is guided by advice from the ISP. The outputs of that work are critically reviewed by ISP members before it is used as part of producing the annual GHHP report card.

 

The Independent Science Panel comprises members with expertise on one or more of the following:

  • Water quality

  • Ecosystem health

  • Marine biogeochemistry

  • Marine toxicology

  • Decision support tools/modelling

  • Social science

  • Economics

  • Discharge chemistry and hydrology

  • Marine biodiversity

  • Statistics
