Water quality study in rambungan mangrove area
This study was conducted to determine the water quality status in Rambungan mangrove area and its associated tributaries. Three field samplings were carried out on 5 October and 10 December 2007 and 11 March 2008 at five different stations along Batang Rambungan. Physical and chemical water quality...
