The estuarine waters upstream of the Inner Harbour MEPA are not encompassed by the EPA (2000) classification, but will be managed as a MEPA for this Project. ............. 4 Figure 3.1 Environmental monitoring sites (as described in Section 3). .......................... 8 Figure 3.2 Inner Harbour and Rous Head environmental monitoring sites (as described in Section 3) ............................................................................ 9 Appendix A Ministerial Statement No. 801 List of Appendices Oceanica: Fremantle Ports: Inner Harbour and Channel Deepening - Water Quality Monitoring Program iii
