PLAN

The area I have chosen to sample is the Smoothey Park and Gore Cove Reserve I am sampling 4 locations marked in the map. At the start, the beginning of the creek which is basically all storm water from runoff of the local urban area. Then as close as to the centre of the creek which is also affected by run off as many more pipes run into the creek along the length of the creek. I am also sampling where the creek meets the ocean the impacting factor here is the mangroves which dominate the area and it is basically mud flats for about 50 meters before the harbour. My final sample in just from the harbour about 50 meters from these mangroves.
