Coastal and estuarine resource condition assessment, a baseline survey in the southern NRM region, Tasmania: North West Bay

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 North West Bay.

本项目开发并实施了一项为期12个月的调查计划，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表征的生态状况、底栖大型无脊椎动物、病原体以及通过生境制图确定的生境范围相关的基准信息。研究对塔斯马尼亚南部NRM（Natural Resource Management）区域内的5处重点河口与近海水域开展了评估。本记录所涵盖的数据采集于西北湾。
