Reef Credit Method Development

Verterra developed the Grazing Land Management (GLM) Reef Credit Methodology in collaboration with AgriProve and GreenCollar. The Method allows farmers to generate Reef Credits and generate an alternative income stream by improving grazing practices and reducing fine sediment runoff, a critical step in protecting the Great Barrier Reef.

A critical breakthrough in development of the method was the application of our spatial analysis expertise to allow us to remove seasonal variation to enable accurate spatial quantification of variations in vegetation cover, a key contributor to erosion.
