The Medina Valley Centre is situated on the West side of the Medina estuary, approximately 2 km downstream from Newport, where the tidal limit is situated. We have been monitoring the estuary since 1993, taking water samples and keeping records of temperature, salinity and turbidity.
Estuaries are very dynamic ecosystems and the Medina estuary exhibits both temporal and spatial changes. Depending on the conditions, stratification is sometimes exhibited.
