Dredged material sampling

On Wednesday I was lucky enough to join scientists from the CMFS who are taking samples prior, during and after the Port of Tauranga dredging project which will widen and deepen shipping channels.

We sampled at two places, and divers went down 18-20m to collect sediment.

This will then be sieved and analysed for animal matter and also trace metals.
