Subscriber only Equipment has been installed at the Port of Bundaberg to gain a better understanding of the environment and improve safety systems. Teaming up with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Gladstone Ports Corporation (GPC) has installed a new water quality and wind monitoring station on top of a pylon in the mouth of the river. CSIRO Research Scientist Geoffrey Carlin said the new equipment would collect comprehensive data and water readings to assist scientists when monitoring the effects on coastal waters and reefs. The installation of water quality monitoring instrumentation is a collaborative effort that provides key data to CSIRO, GPC, Maritime Safety Queensland and Queensland Sugar Limited, Mr Carlin said.
