Coastal Water Quality Requirements of pH for Categories Conservation & Recreation is 7.5 mg/L - 8.5 mg/L while for Category Industrial pH is 7.0 mg/L - 9.0 mg/L; 2. Note: i) Total Suspended Solids is not monitored by the Laboratories Division, AFRC ii) The range of levels of pH, temperature and salinity for seawater have been compiled for each site. iii) The monitoring frequency for each site is 3 - 4 times yearly. 3. Temperature is measured in degrees celcius 4.
