Sabina River 2011
Basin : Busselton Coast
Catchment : Vasse - Ludlow rivers
The Sabina River 2011 site (site code: Sabina River 2 HRP/6104225), in the lower catchment of Sabina River, was assessed between 16-17 November 2011, 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, macroinvertebrates, aquatic habitat, water quality (dissolved oxygen and temperature logged over 24h, and electrical conductivity, pH, colour, alkalinity, turbidity and nutrients), fringing vegetation, channel morphology, erosion, connectivity, local land use and flow.
