PCIMP Bioaccumulation Data: Oyster Contaminants in Port Curtis Inner Harbour (2007-2018)

Port Curtis Integrated Monitoring Program collected bioaccumulation data from oysters in the Inner Harbour over 11 years. Sensors deployed by the Australian Ocean Data Network gathered this environmental monitoring data from September 2007 to November 2018. The dataset likely contains measurements of contaminants absorbed by oysters.

Use Cases

• Monitor contaminant levels in shellfish based on bioaccumulation data mentioned in the description
• Assess long-term environmental health trends based on the 11-year monitoring period
• Study spatial pollution patterns within a harbor based on the 'Inner Harbour' location

Strengths

• Data collection spans over 11 years, from September 2007 to November 2018
• Focuses on a specific monitoring zone (Zone 05 - Inner Harbour) within Port Curtis

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Freshness should be verified as the last metadata update is dated 2026-06-17
