Fieldwork - Water Testing
A number of tests were conducted to determine the quality of the water around the bay. They recorded GPS locations, then took measurements for pH, Total Nitrite, Total Nitrate, Phosphates and Ammonia. Measurements were taken at the school wharf, at three different locations where there were mangroves present, the Cockatoo Island Ferry Wharf, Sutherland Dock and Fitzroy Dock.
