Considering the main estuaries, potential input points of pollutants, coastal ecological sensitive areas such as brackish lagoons and wetlands, 10 water monitoring stations were established in order to effectively monitor the marine environmental quality. The transport of pollutants is dominated by the rise and ebb of tides and the convection and diffusion of ocean currents. Therefore, the sampling locations were top and bottom waters at points within 5 to 10 meter bathymetric depth. The marine water quality monitoring were four times per year, roughly once every season. Monitoring items includes pH, water temperature, conductivity, salinity, transparency, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chlorophyll a, suspended solid (SS), coliform groups, total phosphate, orthophosphate, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, oil & grease, and heavy metal copper, zinc, and mercury. The sediment copper, mercury, cadmium, zinc, chromium, and nickel were also monitored during the first season. A simulated oil spill drill was practiced in this project.
