Water column profiles were conducted at seven locations in the Providence and Seekonk River estuaries on May 14, 2025 using a Seabird Electronics profiler. In the five days leading up to the survey, 1.73 inches of precipitation were recorded at T.F. Green. Strong stratification of the water column stratification was observed at all sites.
Dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions were not observed to be below the hypoxia threshold (2.9 mg/L) at any site profiled this week. The highest fluorescence recorded this week was measured around 2 meters below the surface at Conimicut Point.
