ISimangaliso Wetland Park Authority was also consulted for monitoring in the northern parts of KZN.EC:National Pollution Laboratory continues to collect and analyse water quality samples in the Province. A report for winter season has been produced.Challenges: Sampling of other Coastal Provinces by the National Pollution Laboratory is costly and time consuming for travelling.Corrective measures: Collaborative Partnership between the National Pollution Laboratory, Coastal Municipalities and other Departments is being sought for for sampling and analysis.This may also involve an option of couriering preserved water and sediment samples to the National Pollution Laboratory in the Eastern Cape.= On target= work in progress= Off target= NomilestoneSlide34
