  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Under the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) water quality data was 
collected around Efate island in Vanuatu during September 2023. Sampling was 
focused on rivers around the island, Port Vila Bay, and Emten Lagoon. Sites 
were visited opportunistically once for nutrient analysis (total suspended 
solids (TSS) (mg/L); Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonium, Phosphate and Silicate 
(&#xB5;mol/L); Chlorophyll-a and Phaeophytin-a (&#xB5;g/L)), while microbiology sites 
were visited up to 4 times to assess daily fluctuations (reported as Colony 
Forming Units (CFU/100ml) counts). Passive samplers were deployed for 5-7 days 
to assess accumulation of metals (Cadmium, Chromium, Lead, Nickel, Zinc, Iron, 
Copper and Manganese (&#xB5;g/l (ppb))) at fixed locations.</dc:description>
