Cowichan Bay Water Monitoring
Cowichan Bay (Region 14) has been the site of much fisheries-related research. and the
Citizen Science Oceanography Program has comprehensively monitored water properties
there. However, there is little (horizontal) spatial variation in water properties, so here we
present only mean conditions for each survey. Regional average temperature, salinity, oxygen
and chlorophyll in this area are compared to the flow of the Cowichan River here. The vertical
cyan line indicates the dates at which the samples were being taken.
