Temperature parameter video transcript

Lower water temperatures usually retain higher levels of oxygen. High temperatures in association with increased nutrients may cause algal blooms and reduced oxygen levels.

To measure the water temperature at Longneck Lagoon EEC you will need a thermometer. Wrap the string around your wrist or fingers as these thermometers do not float.

Place the thermometer in the water so the bulb is immersed for one minute.

Remove the thermometer from the water and read the temperature in degrees Celsius immediately.
