Full description
This data was collected as part of two research projects commissioned by Melbourne Water that investigated components of sediment dynamics in Western Port and its contributing rivers in Victoria, including:- River TSS, TN, TP loads in Cardinia Ck, Bunyip R, Lang Lang R, Bass R (2015 back to beginning of records)
- Coastal bank erosion rates at Lang Lang (monitored from Nov 2012-June 2016 plus historical air photos back to 1947 for 8.6 km of coastline)
- Weather and coastal photographs, tide and groundwater heights at Lang Lang (Nov 2012-June 2016)
- Bay turbidity and extent of seagrass or macroalgae (1986-2015)
- Conceptual modelling of seagrass extent
Further information on the data is provided in the project reports
