Data collection infoTemperature and pH are measured using a Hanna Industries pen meter (HI98129) within 2-4” of the surface. Secchi depths are collected where there is sufficient depth to measure from the sampling location. Data collection is consistent with the Invasive Mussel Field Protocol prepared by the Ecosystems Branch, BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy.
Data processingThe Water Hub has performed a preliminary QA/QC protocol on this data but the individual user must still confirm the accuracy of the data and whether it will be appropriate for their purpose.
