What Have We Learnt From 14 Years of Marine Dediment Chemistry Monitoring in the Auckland Region?
01/05/2013
In 1998, the Auckland Regional Council (now Auckland Council) initiated a sediment chemistry monitoring programme aimed at assessing the spatial distribution of, and temporal trends in, key chemical contaminants across the region?s urban estuaries, harbours, and sheltered open coast. Over the subsequent 14 years important lessons have been learned concerning factors such as QA procedures and reporting, consistency of methods and the influence of analytical variability.
