Fresh water with bonded nutrient from Aus east coast town and city sewage dumping flows northwards and that of it not taken up en route flows into GBR waters and beyond.
Alongshore current energy to move the flow is strong enough to transport heavy sand northwards to Frazer Island where the sand falls over the Continental Shelf. But the fresher surface water with bonded nutrient continues northwards inside the GBR lagoon reaching Cape York.
Other point source nutrient is added along the way.
Here is the sediment dispersal system involved.
