Harwich. Dissoved Oxygen (Ave) mg/L 8 7 Class SA Waters Criteria 6 5 Aquatic

Harwich. Dissoved Oxygen (Ave) mg/L 8 7 Class SA Waters Criteria 6 5 Aquatic organisms are under stress when DO is between 6 - 3 mg/L. The lower the concentration the greater the stress. 4 3 Levels at 3 mg/L and below indicate not enough oxygen plants/animals exist in extremely stressful conditions; result in die-off and relocation of some species 2 1 0 Allen's Hulse Point Allen's Harbor Creek Allen Marina Herring Bridge Herring LC Bridge Herring Lothrop Herring North Herring Resevoir Wychmere Harbor Outer Harbor Muddy Creek Lower
