Montagu River Estuary Water Quality and Biological Data from North-Western Tasmania

Water quality and biological data was collected from four tide-dominated river estuaries in North-Western Tasmania to assess draft indicator levels and investigate biological indicators of estuarine health. The data represented by this record was collected in the Montagu River. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.

Use Cases

• Assessing draft water quality indicator levels based on collected water quality data.
• Investigating biological indicators of estuarine health based on collected biological data.
• Comparing estuarine conditions across catchments with varying levels of human impact as mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data was collected from four distinct estuaries, allowing for comparative analysis.
• Dataset includes both water quality and biological data, enabling multi-faceted health assessment.
• Last updated 2026-07-22 01:53:59.878207, suggesting recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing on a specific region of Tasmania.
