Surface chlorophyll data were collected on June 21, 2023 while the R/V Monitor was underway collecting bacteria samples in the Providence and Seekonk River estuaries. Unfortunately, only limited data between Field’s Point and Conimicut Point were collected due to an instrument logging error. The average chlorophyll concentrations were categorized as fair in the Northern Providence River Channel, Edgewood Shoals, and Pawtuxet River areas. Overall, chlorophyll ranged from 2.07 to 25.68 µg/L with an average of 12.64 µg/L. The chlorophyll concentrations from this date are presented in the map below using Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation.
