The
Huon Estuary Study was undertaken in southern Tasmania from
1996-1999. It investagated the interplay of human activity
and natural processes upon the waterway. The projects aims
and objectives were to:
- Determine the sources, distribution and cycling of nutrients.
Trace the links between nutrients and algal blooms.
- Evaluate
the processes such as fish farming and rainfall that contribute
organic matter to sediments.
- Determine the distribution
and composition of organic material beneath fish cages.
- Monitor
environmental quality.
