This monitoring is intended to assess the current condition of water quality in Boston & Proper Bays and will set a baseline of data that can be used for future monitoring in the marine environment. This report is intended to be used by scientists, researchers, industry and some sectors of the general public. Boston and Proper Bays are a group of coastal embayments on the Eyre Peninsula with Boston Bay being the largest. It is a large, shallow natural harbour created by Boston Island and is in the southwestern corner of Spencer Gulf. Boston bay is currently used as a deepwater port for the Eyre Peninsula’s large grain industry and the exponentially growing aquaculture industry. There are riverine flows from the Tod River north of Boston Bay, discharges from the Port Lincoln wastewater treatment plant, urban stormwater and various industrial and shipping facilities and aquaculture operations. Environmental impacts have been reported in Boston Bay in the last 20 years. At least three quarters of the Southern Bluefin Tuna stock died from commercial and research
