Coastal and estuarine resource condition assessment, a baseline survey in the southern NRM region, Tasmania: Port Cygnet

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 Port Cygnet.

本研究研发并实施了一项为期12个月的监测项目，旨在获取以下基线信息：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、病原体为表征指标的生态状况，以及通过生境测绘确定的生境范围。研究团队对塔斯马尼亚南部NRM区域内的5处重点河口与近岸海域开展了评估。本记录所对应的数据采集于锡格内特港（Port Cygnet）。
