WFD: Monitoring of macrophytes and epifauna in inner and outer coastal waters in Schleswig-Holstein (WFD program).
annual implementation since 2007

The monitoring program for macrophytes, based on the requirements of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), is presently yearly executed. The ecological status of inner coastal waters (like bays, lagoons and fjords) is assessed according to the PHYBIBCO system (Nickel et al. 2019) and to the BALCOSIS system (Schories et al. 2006, Nickel et al. 2019) in outer coastal waters.

MariLim is conducting the field campaigns, the laboratory analyses according to national guidelines and the ecological status assessments since 2007.

HELCOM: Monitoring of macrozoobenthos 2018/19 and ecological assessment of outer coastal waters in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. HELCOM Monitoring of outer coastal waters.
Project start 2018

The German Federal State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania carries out monitoring in accordance with the specifications of HELCOM in the outer coastal waters. The HELCOM monitoring is based on traditional stations, some of which have been sampled since 1994, so that measurement series, station networks and methods are maintained, even if this results in an overlap with the Water Framework Directive. In 2018, 15 stations were examined for their taxa composition, population density and biomass. In addition to the inventory of the benthos community of the individual stations, particular attention was paid to the occurrence of species of the Red List and Neozoa.
