In July 2009, the Southeast Coast Network and the University of Georgia conducted anassessment of water and sediment quality at Canaveral National Seashore. Monitoring was conducted following methods developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a part of the National Coastal Assessment Program and included laboratory analysis for chlorophyll a, total dissolved nitrogen and phosphorous concentrations and field measurements of water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and salinity. Estimates of water clarity were made using secchi depth measurements and were adjusted for naturally occurring water-clarity conditions.
