Abstract

[Extract] North Queensland Bulk Ports (NQBP) in partnership with The Centre for Tropical Water and Aquatic Ecosystems (TropWATER) at James Cook University implemented an ambient marine water quality monitoring program in the region surrounding the Port of Weipa in January 2018. By incorporating a combination of approaches including spot measurements, acquisition of data via deployment of high frequency continuous loggers, water sample collection, and laboratory analysis of samples for a range of nutrients and heavy metals, the objective of the program is to collect a long-term water quality dataset that characterises the ambient water quality conditions within the Weipa region.
