Title

Vanuatu Water Quality Dataset - 2016-2018

Abstract

Dataset supporting a baseline assessment of marine water quality around Vanuatu, South Pacific. As part of the Commonwealth Marine Economies Programme, water quality measurements were collected over three years in the coastal waters around the island of Efate, and on one occasion around the island of Tanna. Observations focus on Port Vila (Efate), which is the main urbanised area on the Island. Key water quality parameters are presented (salinity, temperature, turbidity and total suspended solids, light attenuation, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll and phaeophytin, and nutrients) which represent part of a larger research program on water quality, human health and habitat mapping.
