Sampling frequency = 6weekly.

Sampling began in 2006 and is ongoing.

Number of sites = 7 total.

Extent of site = most sites are up current of river mouths, except 1 estuary (7-10m depth, less than 1km from shore).

Number of replicates = 1 per site.

Measured variables = Water quality: Conductivity, DO%, DOmg/l, temp, PH (YSI 556), Enterococci (NZ Labs - APHA 9230C mE), TP, DRP, TKN, NO2, NNN, NH4, suspended solids (Hills Labs APHA 4500-NO3 I), TN, NO3 (Hills Labs calculations), Turbidity (Turbiquant meter), Chlorophyll a (Cawthron), water depth (recorded in field).

Sampling protocol & QA = Internal field monitoring protocol and QA procedures.

Water samples taken from top 0.5m of water column (salinity and DO% checks made against water at 5m).
