Slocums River – Mouth Snapshot

The Buzzards Bay Coalition does not calculate a Bay Health Index score for Slocums River – Mouth because there is only data for two indicators at this location. The Bay Health Index is only calculated when there is data for at least three of five indicators: organic nitrogen, inorganic nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, algal pigments, and water clarity.
