Export DataAccess APIMetadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleNSW Estuary Water Quality Compilation 2007-2020Content TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionEstuary water quality data has been collected by the Estuaries and
Catchment Team of the Strategic Policy, Science and Engagement Group in
the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water
since 2007. Data has been collected using standard monitoring protocol
outlined in 'Assessing estuary ecosystem health: Sampling, data analysis
and reporting protocols. NSW Natural Resources Monitoring, Evaluation
and Reporting Program', most recently updated in 2016 and available on
the NSW environment website. The data has been used to monitor the
aquatic ecosystem condition of over 160 estuaries in NSW over time.
Adopting the principles of the National Water Quality Framework, the
data has been used to develop NSW specific guideline values for a range
of physico-chemical water quality indicators for each estuary type.
This allows comparison of observed data to these guidelines to assess
condition of any estuary in NSW. As part of the Marine Estate Management
Strategy Implementation Plan Stage 1, a NSW water quality database has
been developed, where this data is now stored. Water quality monitoring
in NSW estuaries is ongoing, and updated data will be made available
routinely.Initial Publication Date05/05/2025Data Currency25/08/2020Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceWebsite URLFile TypeCSV (*.csv)AttributionNSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water
