Abstract Here we present a collection of raw and processed temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located off Pondoland. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m.
