Estuary Thompson Creek Estuary
Site Point Impossible Road Culvert at Mullet Creek
Observation ID #11750
Date and Time Saturday 27th January 2018 10:27am
Approved Approved

Notes

* AHD gauge is consistently not providing measurements due to water level being below the lowest part of gauge. is there the potential to move it to a position that it will be able to provide consistent measurements during low (mouth open) and high (mouth closed) water levels?

* Area surrounding and in the sampling site was being utilised by a large family fishing, swimming and lounging on the beach. while i haven't monitored the site for very long this is the first time ive seen the water utilised in this area.
