Sampling frequency = monthly. Sampling began in 1986 (not at all sites) and is ongoing. Number of sites = 36 total: East Coast (x9), Kaipara Harbour (x7), Manukau Harbour (x7), Waitemata Harbour (x11), Tamaki Estuary (x2). Number of replicates = 1. Measured variables = Salinity, conductivity, DO%, DOmg/l, temp, PH (YSI meter), Enterococci, TP, DRP, TKN, NNN, TN, NO3, NO2, chlorophyll a, chloride, turbidity, suspended solids, ammoniacal nitrogen and total oxidisable inorganic nitrogen (external lab). Water samples taken from top 0.5m of water column on the falling tide, just after high water. Sampling protocol & QA = Internal sampling protocol, samples are collected by helicopter or boat.
