Analysis of the physical, chemical and biological parameters assessing water quality in Harris Neck estuary indicated that the average dissolved oxygen level was 8.6mg/L, it maintained moderate levels of total dissolved nitrogen (2.7–4.6mg/L) and total dissolved phosphorous (<0.05mg/L), chlorophyll a was above 5.0μg/L and it is contaminated with low levels of fecal bacteria. Bifidobacterium adolescentis, a putative marker of human fecal pollution, was detected once at stations 3 and 5. Overall the Harris Neck water quality analyses indicated a relatively pristine and a healthy functioning marine environment.
