#15662 16 Jul 2023 Pending Notes:

Very tidal flow. over approximately 4 minutes water movement cycles through completely slack to extremely fast movement under mullet creek bridge (enough sweep to make sampling impossible)

#15649 18 Jun 2023 Pending Notes:

Significant tidal movement from Thompson creek up mullet creek severely effected sampling potential. probe could not get below .5m as sweep was pulling under bridge and holding at this height.

same issue occured with top/bottom sampling resulting in only top sample.

Notes

Turbidity was less than 9

sampling site was full of seaweed making accurate depth profiling difficult. i also believe this may have contributed to the low oxygen readings as this was not consistent with monitoring at the other site.
