Coastal and estuarine resource condition assessment, a baseline survey in the southern NRM region, Tasmania: Moulting Lagoon / Great Swanport

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. The data represented by this record was collected in Moulting Lagoon/Great Swanport.

本研究开发并实施了一项为期12个月的监测方案，旨在获取多类基线数据，涵盖水质（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)、底栖大型无脊椎动物(benthic macroinvertebrates)、病原体表征的生态状况，以及通过生境测绘(habitat mapping)确定的生境范围。研究对塔斯马尼亚州南部自然资源管理（Natural Resource Management, NRM）区域内的5处重点河口与近海水域开展了评估，本数据集记录所关联的数据采集自摩尔廷泻湖（Moulting Lagoon）/大斯旺波特海域。
