Bay of Plenty Marine Sediment Contaminants

Chemical monitoring of sediments in estuaries within the Bay of Plenty region for Environment Bay of Plenty. Sampling sites are located in Tauranga and Ohiwa Harbours.

Sampling frequency = 3yearly (winter).

Sampling began in 2003 and is ongoing.

Number of sites = 38 total: Tauranga (31), ?hiwa (7).

Extent of site = 20m diameter circle plot at approximately mid-tide mark.

Number of replicates = 1 per site (composed of 15 sub-samples).

Measured variables = Sediment characteristics (TOC, cadmium, nickel, lead, zinc, chromium, arsenic and copper).

Sampling protocol & QA = Internal protocol and QA procedures. Collection of surface sediment (top 2cm) form sites. Sediment analysis external (Malvern Particle Analyser).
