Pontoon methodology
A YSI probe was used to measure the temp, O2, salinity, pH, turbidity and chl a every half an hour. The YSI probe measurements were taken at 1m intervals as deep as the tide would allow.
Measurements of current flow and PAR were measured every hour. Horizontal Niskin bottles were taken at two depths each hour, one at the surface and one at depth. 3 x 50ml water samples were filtered. The filters were then added to acetone for later analysis of chlorophyll back in the lab.
