Coastal Water Quality (Greater Wellington Region)

Physical and chemical monitoring of coastal water in the Greater Wellington region for the Greater Wellington Regional Council.

Sampling sites are located in Lake Onoke and Porirua Harbour.

Sampling frequency = monthly (outgoing and low-mid tide where possible). Sampling began in 2010 and is ongoing.

Number of sites = 7-8 total.

Number of replicates = 1 per site.

Measured variables = Water quality: salinity, conductivity, DO%, DOmg/l, temp, PH, E coli, Enterococci, TP, DRP, TKN, NO2, NO3, NNN, NH4, Chlorophyll a, turbidity, suspended solids, volatile SS, TOC.

Sampling protocol & QA = Internal field monitoring protocol and QA procedures. Water samples taken from top 0.5m of water column.
