Blackmore Estuary
The primary aim of this study was to obtain data on the water quality of the upper reaches of Blackmore Estuary in Darwin Harbour at a time when development in the catchment is relatively minor. Future development within the Blackmore Estuary catchment may alter the quality of water flowing into the estuary and in turn the main body of Darwin Harbour. Results from this study can be used as a baseline data set, against which to measure any future changes.; Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).
