Abstract:

Estuaries are the important interface between the land and sea, providing significant environmental, economic, cultural and social values. However, they face unprecedented pressures including eutrophication, harmful algal blooms, habitat loss, and extreme weather due to climate change. Here we present an open access, quality-controlled water quality dataset collected from twelve diverse estuaries spanning 1000 km along the southeastern Australian coastline. Water depth, temperature and salinity data were collected across two years (2018-2021) capturing drought, wildfire and flood periods, using high accuracy Seabird MicroCAT field sensors located within oyster leases. These fully autonomous instruments collected and transmitted data every 10 minutes before downstream quality checking and uploading onto a public website. Simultaneous, high-resolution, longitudinal environmental data collected across multiple estuaries throughout a range of extreme weather events are exceptionally rare in the Southern Hemisphere, yet provide an invaluable resource for the aquaculture industry, researchers and environmental regulators alike.
