Coastal and estuarine resource condition assessment, a baseline survey in the southern NRM region, Tasmania: Little 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 Little Swanport.

研发并实施了一项为期12个月的调研方案，旨在获取以下基线数据：水质指标（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，以及通过生境测绘确定的生境范围。该方案针对塔斯马尼亚南部自然资源管理（Natural Resource Management，NRM）区域内的5处重点河口与近海水域开展了评估。本记录所承载的数据采集自小天鹅港（Little Swanport）。
