Coastal and estuarine resource condition assessment, a baseline survey in the southern NRM region, Tasmania: Pitt Water / Orielton Lagoon

Nutrients Inorganic Carbon Particulate matter Sea Surface Salinity Sea Surface Temperature Subsurface Salinity Subsurface Temperature Phytoplankton biomass and diversity Invertebrate abundance and distribution

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 Pitt Water / Orielton Lagoon.
