Post-3rd STAC, the WG focused on: developing a methodology for analyzing the water quality data, continued gathering of national water quality data from the Parties and non-Parties, QA/QC and analyzing the data, determining how to present the results in the report, resolving several issues with the data, and the actual drafting of the report. The WG Data Sub-group, led by Dr. Linroy Christian, held teleconferences to make decisions related to specific parameters that were considered to be difficult to put into ranges of good-fair-poor.
