Notes

Conductivity (12.81mS/cm) - checked at ambient/room temperature.
Outward current was very strong.
Top-bottom sampling was not possible. Jetty -water distance too great to use sampling bottle on pole. Hence no turbidity or pH readings.
Probe leads also too short to make readings at deeper depths
