| Acronym: | Coastal Monitoring Programme |

| Description: | The CSIRO coastal monitoring program established a network of sampling stations from the 1940s and 1950s onwards, for the purpose of collecting long time-series of coastal temperature, salinity and nutrient data from south-eastern and south-western Australian coastal waters. Sampling at most of these stations involved collection of regular water samples from a 50m water column at intervals of between one and approximately 6 weeks, at 10m depth intervals between the surface (0m) and 50m (or 100m+ in a few cases). Sampling ceased at many of the coastal stations in the 1950s-1960s but some new stations were sampled in the 1970s. Four stations were still operational Port Hacking 50m, Port Hacking 100m (NSW), Rottnest Island (WA) and Maria Island (Tas) when the sampling was taken over by IMOS in April 2009, giving a continuous record of around 60 years' oceanographic data from these sites. |
