This report serves as a summary of our efforts to date in the execution of the Water Quality Monitoring Project for the FKNMS as part of the Water Quality Protection Program. The period of record for this report is Apr. 1995 – Dec. 2017 and includes data from 92 quarterly sampling events within the FKNMS (23 years). Field parameters measured at each station (surface and bottom at most sites) include salinity (practical salinity scale), temperature (ºC), dissolved oxygen (DO, mg l-1 ), turbidity (NTU), relative fluorescence, and light attenuation (Kd, m-1 ). Water quality variables include the dissolved nutrients nitrate …
