Abstract:

For the purpose of monitoring water quality, discrete hydrographic measurements and grab samples were collected biweekly via kayak-based trips at three stations established throughout Laguna Salada and Los Olmos from February 2023 to January 2024. A datasonde stationed at one site in Los Olmos took discrete hydrographic measurements in 15-minute intervals from September 2023 to January 2024. Grab samples were analyzed for organic and inorganic nutrients, and chlorophyll a.
