weather was kind, but there were a few

area or into the sea.
The effect of the sand movement from the lack of dune systems has seen the degradation in the land

The Council’s existing monitoring programme only collects chlorophyll a once a year,
during summer (worst case flow conditions). Therefore, a comparison against the new
attribute’s standards cannot be made. An analysis to compare with the new NoF guideline is
presented below, for indicative purposes only. It should be noted that since the Council is
sampling under worst-case conditions, then clearly if such a result falls into an A, B, or
