Nutrient samples were collected from six bay stations on November 13th. All bay stations were sampled at the surface and bottom. In the five days prior to sampling, 0.69” of precipitation were recorded at T.F. Green.
Among the bay stations sampled, the highest surface total nitrogen (TN), total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), and dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) were observed at Pawtuxet Cove (TN = 1,160 ppb, TDN = 1200 ppb, DIN = 940.8 ppb). The lowest surface TN, TDN, and DIN were observed at Bullock Reach (TN = 540 ppb, TDN = 464 ppb, DIN = 258.0 ppb).
The next scheduled sampling date is November 26th, 2025.
