Margaret River - Jindong-Treeton Road
Basin : Busselton Coast
Catchment : Margaret River
The condition of the Jindong-Treeton Road site (site code: MR42MARG1), was assessed between 17 and 18 February 2016 and 23 and 24 March 2016, over a 100-m length of stream. At this time no previous assessments of river ecology had been reported.
The assessment was conducted using standard methods from the South West Index of River Condition. Measures chosen for this assessment included fish and crayfish, aquatic habitat, water quality (dissolved oxygen, temperature, electrical conductivity, and pH logged over 24h, and colour, alkalinity, turbidity and nutrients), fringing vegetation, channel morphology, erosion, connectivity, local land use and flow.
The site was also assessed in October 2009 as part of a national assessment of river condition (site code MARG-02 / 610034) - view report here.
