Research Vessel

November 27-December 3, 2022

On Wednesday, November 30th, the crew of the R/V Monitor was out on the upper Bay collecting nutrients samples, taking Secchi Disk water clarity measurements, conducting water column profiles using a profiling sonde, and conducting real-time surface mapping of water quality parameters, including dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, water temperature, salinity, and pH, all in an effort to document water quality improvements associated with NBC construction projects. Jeffrey captained the boat while monitoring professionals Fern, Gerard and Steve collected the samples and data. It was a sunny and brisk day with no wind and calm waters. The featured photo from our archives shows ProvPort from the east.​

On Wednesday, July 7th, the crew of the R/V Monitor was out on the upper Bay collecting bacteria samples, taking Secchi Disk water clarity measurements, and conducting water column profiles using the Seabird instrument, all in an effort to document water quality improvements associated with NBC construction projects.  Real-time surface mapping of water quality parameters and Par sensor water clarity measurements were not collected this day due to a computer malfunction. Jeff captained the boat while monitoring professionals Gerard, Justin, and Steve collected the samples and data. It was a warm, humid and partly sunny day. There was no breeze early on, but one picked up as the day progressed. The featured photo is of some swans enjoying the fine summer weather.
