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.

本研究研发并实施了一项为期12个月的监测方案，以获取水质（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）、病原微生物（pathogens），以及通过生境测绘（habitat mapping）确定的生境范围相关的基线信息。
研究团队在塔斯马尼亚南部自然资源管理（Natural Resource Management, NRM）区域内，对5处重点河口与近海水域开展了评估工作。
本记录所承载的数据采集自莫尔廷泻湖（Moulting Lagoon）/大斯旺波特（Great Swanport）区域。
