Campbeltown monitoring buoy, Campbeltown Loch
Introduction
Continuous monitoring buoy was deployed in Campbeltown Loch between June 2010 and September 2011 in order to assess the presence of phytoplankton blooms and related water quality. Phytoplankton blooms are short lived so could be missed by previous monitoring which was based on regular visits. The frequency of such monitoring was often subject to weather conditions and vessel availability.
Current observations:
The buoy collects data at 30 minutes intervals and the data are displayed as daily averages.

Disclaimer
The monitoring buoy data is gathered by SEPA to help it fulfil its statutory duties. We publish it online because we recognise that this information may also be useful for others, but we cannot guarantee its currency or availability. The majority of our buoys do not have remote telemetry and so data availability is subject to monthly downloads when the buoys undergo maintenance.
