Pea Patch Island (RM 60.6)

Measures water acidity or alkalinity on a scale of 0-14. Neutral is 7. Most fish thrive in 6.5-8.5 range.

Common fecal coliform bacteria indicating possible sewage contamination. EPA recreational limit: <126 MPN/100mL.

Water temperature directly affects fish metabolism and activity. Optimal range varies by species.

Nh3 (mg/L) - a water quality measurement. Contact local authorities for specific safety guidelines.

No3 (mg/L) - a water quality measurement. Contact local authorities for specific safety guidelines.

Measures water cloudiness caused by suspended particles. Lower values indicate clearer water. <25 NTU is good.
