This dataset contains water quality data from a uniform grid of sampling locations in Cockburn Sound and surrounding areas from 1977 to 1981. This data was used to determine the eutrophic status of Cockburn Sound and reasons for this nutrient enrichment and phytoplankton response. A PhD thesis was based on this data and the data formed a baseline for an ongoing monitoring program through to the present day.
