متن کاملA new methodology based on littoral community cartography dominated by macroalgae for the implementation of the European Water Framework Directive.
Macroalgae is a biological key element for the assessment of the ecological status in coastal waters in the frame of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC). Here we propose a methodology for monitoring water quality based on the cartography of littoral and upper-sublittoral rocky-shore communities (CARLIT, in short). With the use of spatial databases, GIS, and available inform...

This is deemed intolerable by society and hence the European Water Framework Direct...
