Baseline coastal and estuarine condition assessment of the southern NRM region, Tasmania

A 12-month program was developed and implemented in order to obtain baseline information on water quality (salinity, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, pH, dissolved nutrients, silica), ecological condition as shown by Chlorophyll a, benthic macroinvertebrates, pathogens, and habitat extent determined from habitat mapping. Five key estuaries and coastal waters were assessed in the Southern NRM Region of Tasmania. This data includes sampling from Pitt Water / Orielton Lagoon, North West Bay, Port Cygnet, Little Swanport, Moulting Lagoon / Great Swanport.

为获取水质（盐度、水温、溶解氧、浊度、pH值、溶解态营养盐、二氧化硅）、以叶绿素a（Chlorophyll a）表征的生态状况、底栖大型无脊椎动物（benthic macroinvertebrates）、病原体以及通过生境测绘（habitat mapping）确定的生境范围等相关基线信息，本项目开发并实施了一项为期12个月的监测计划。在塔斯马尼亚南部自然资源管理（Southern NRM）区域内，共对5处重点河口与近岸海域开展了评估。本次数据集涵盖皮特湾/奥尔顿顿潟湖、西北湾、锡格尼特港、小天鹅港、莫尔廷潟湖/大天鹅港的采样数据。
