Topic	Water Quality: Salinity in Garcia Estuary by Station June-August 1995

 

Caption:  The chart above shows the salinity at the surface and one meter in depth at all stations sampled by Higgins (1995) in the Garcia River estuary once monthly from June to August 1995. Salinity never extended upstream to the Bend Hole (G1) or the site just downstream (G2). Stations G3, G4 and G5 were fresh water dominated in June 1995 but became increasingly dominated by salt water through August. Surface samples are influenced by the tide, so even site G6 at the mouth of the estuary had less than full strength sea water (35 ppm) at the surface in August due to low tide. See InfoLinks for more information on methods or study results of Higgins (1996).
