Purpose of Water Quality Monitoring Program:
- Provide water quality information to increase the understanding of water quality in Storm Bay;
- Provide water quality information to increase the understanding of the contribution of each water body (Derwent Estuary, Storm Bay and the D’Entrecasteaux Channel) to the overall water quality of the region;
- Provide water quality information to assist nutrient dispersion modelling and biogeochemical model development and validation for Storm Bay.
