Program Sampling Plan
The sampling plan for each patrol consists of a set of sampling locations or stations to be
revisited in each survey, and a schedule of about 20 sampling dates from March through to
October (a winter sampling date, meant to provide a baseline for comparison with the
summer conditions, began in the 2018/2019 winter).
The following figures show the degree to which this synoptic sampling pattern has been
carried out. Gaps occur for many reasons, including but not limited to equipment breakdown!
