While Macquarie Harbour is grossly polluted from mine operations via contamination of the King River, Bathurst Harbour is surrounded by World Heritage wilderness and is essentially free of anthropogenic influences. The vegetation of the catchments of both harbours is similar and the waters of both harbours are deep brown due to the presence of humic substances. A hydrographic survey of the pristine Bathurst Harbour estuarine system was carried out over 4 days in January/February of 1990 (Austral Summer). Sampling and laboratory analyses for a range of trace elements (Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Zn) were made using non-contaminating procedures. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[145.7, -43.4], [146.3, -43.4], [146.3, -43.3], [145.7, -43.3], [145.7, -43.4]]]} 145.7 146.3 -43.4 -43.3 Data Link documentDigital Download data file as microsoft XL spread sheet BATHAR_SUM.xls HTML Data Link documentDigital Download data file as tab delimted BATHAR_SUM.txt HTML Documentation Link documentDigital Sample Site Locations (ALL) Bathurst Harbour HTML Documentation Link documentDigital This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License HTML
