Water Quality Data from the AIMS Long Term Monitoring Program. Water and sediments (another dataset) were sampled at the same sites adjacent to all 52 reefs where fish and benthic transects are conducted. Sampling occurs in open water within 500 metres of the reef, on both sides (north and south flanks) of the reef. Sampled reefs occur throughout the Great Barrier Reef, and the reefs of the North West coast of Australia. To track change. Data recorded includes temperature, salinity, Secchi depth, suspended solids, silicates, ammonium, nitrite, dissolved nitrogen (organic, inorganic and total), dissolved phosphorus (organic, inorganic and total), chlorophyll-a and phaetophytin pigments. Observations commenced in August 1990 and ceased in 1996.
