Coastal Catchment Initiative (CCI)

Coastal Catchment Initiative (CCI)About
The Coastal Catchment Initiative (CCI) is a Commonwealth Government funded program aimed at achieving targeted reductions in pollution discharges to coastal water quality ‘hot spots’. The Townsville and Thuringowa region is considered as part of one of the hot spots as water from their catchments flow into the waters of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Creek to Coral is managing the delivery of the Townsville and Thuringowa CCI project.
