The Marine Monitoring Program (MMP) was established in 2005 to monitor the inshore health of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and evaluate progress towards water quality objectives in Reef Water Quality Improvement Plans. The MMP provides information on the magnitude and spatial extent of pesticide contamination, reports on temporal variability, and provides a risk assessment for the biota in the GBR lagoon. However, long-term trends in pesticide contamination of inshore marine waters over the entire monitoring period (2005-2018) have not been assessed. We used up to 14 years of monitoring data for five PSII herbicides (ametryn, atrazine, diuron, tebuthiuron, and hexazinone) to conduct temporal trend analyses at 11 inshore monitoring sites. The trend analyses suggested increasing significant trends (p < 0.05) for the five PSII herbicides concentrations at several monitoring sites. Power analysis indicated that monitoring sites with over 10 years of monitoring data had convincing results with 80% power.
海洋监测计划（MMP）成立于 2005 年，旨在监测大堡礁（GBR）的近岸健康状况，并评估《珊瑚礁水质改善计划》中的水质目标的进展情况。MMP 提供了有关农药污染程度和空间范围的信息，报告了时间变化，并对 GBR 泻湖中的生物群进行了风险评估。然而，整个监测期间（2005-2018 年）近岸海洋水中农药污染的长期趋势尚未得到评估。我们使用了长达 14 年的五个 PSII 除草剂（莠去津、莠去津、敌草隆、特丁津和六嗪酮）的监测数据，在 11 个近岸监测点进行了时间趋势分析。趋势分析表明，在几个监测点，五种 PSII 除草剂浓度的显著趋势（p<0.05）呈上升趋势。功率分析表明，具有 10 年以上监测数据的监测点具有 80%的功率，结果令人信服。
