Nearshore temperature monitoring in Tasmanian coastal waters
Temperature loggers have been deployed at a range of sites statewide in waters ranging between 6 and 22m depth. From 2012, 29 sites around Tasmania are being monitored. This record shows data collected from 2004 up to March 2025. Data is still being collected (July 2025) and will be added to this collection as it becomes available.
