Derwent Estuary Recreational Water Quality monitoring program - Sullivan Cove

Sullivan Cove site is collected as part of the Derwent Bay Watch program. Derwent Bay Watch is a collaborative program between councils and state government that tests water quality at 19 bays, coves and other sites around the estuary during summer months. Water samples are collected each Tuesday from the start of December to the end of March and analysed for the faecal indicator bacteria Enterococci (Enteralert method) at the Public health Lab. Because the samples must be cultured, it takes several days to publish the results.沙利文湾采样点的样本纳入德文特湾监测计划（Derwent Bay Watch）的采集范畴。德文特湾监测计划是地方议会与州政府联合推进的协作项目，于夏季月份对该河口周边的19处海湾、小湾及其他点位开展水质监测。该项目于每年12月初至3月末的每周二采集水样，并在公共卫生实验室采用Enteralert检测法对粪便指示菌肠球菌（Enterococci）进行分析检测。由于水样需进行培养，检测结果需耗时数日方可对外发布。
