Surface chlorophyll data were collected on August 29, 2023 while the R/V Monitor was underway collecting nutrient samples in the Edgewood Shoals, Pawtuxet River and Southern Providence River areas (chlorophyll data were not collected for the Seekonk and Northern Providence River Channel areas due to data logging issues). The average chlorophyll concentrations were categorized fair in the areas surveyed. Overall, chlorophyll ranged from 5.57 µg/L to 12.80 µg/L with an average of 10.46 µg/L. The chlorophyll concentrations from this date are presented in the map below using Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation.
