The effectiveness of alluvial gully remediation in Great Barrier Reef catchments by Andrew P. Brooks, John Spencer, Nicholas J.C. Doriean, Robin Thwaites, James Daley, Tim Pietsch, Jorg Hacker, Justin Stout

“…Prior to remediation, the four large alluvial gully complexes (active area of ∼17ha) were conservatively estimated to be delivering 5800 ± 1500 t of fine sediment (<20 μm) per year (20 year average). The experiment demonstrated that the average remediation effectiveness across 10 different treatments was a 96%–99% reduction in fine sediment yield (or an annualised reduction of ∼5500t). …”
