Baffle Creek water quality monitoring data - Historical

Created 24/02/2025

Updated 24/02/2025

This resource collects time series water physicochemical in-situ parameter readings 10 minutes.

Equipment is housed in a large yellow floating buoy, anchored in position within the tidal zone at the Ferry Crossing approximately 16km from the mouth of Baffle Creek, between Gladstone and Bundaberg.

Lat: -24.50861, Lon: 151.9279, Datum: GDA

Water Quality is measured by a YSI EXO2 multi-parameter sonde at 0.4m below the surface, which collects:
