Abstract

The objective of the current study is to determine the harbour water quality indicators for the quantity of fertilizers and other pollutants entering the marine environment. Combining mathematical and statistical techniques with conventional hydrographic data has been used. The water samples were taken from the fisheries harbour in Chinnamuttom, Colachel, and Muttom, and they were examined for a number of physicochemical factors. It has been discovered that seawater has a substantial impact on water quality. The present study's findings showed that anthropogenic impacts had a significant impact on the spatiotemporal variability of water quality measures. To reduce the risk to the population's health and the negative effects on the aquatic ecology, it is necessary to continuously check the harbour water quality.
