Abstract

Phytoplankton monitoring in the South Adriatic (Adricosm-STAR project), 2008-2009.

Keywords: Occurrence, Observation

Project details

Project title: ADRICOSM integrated river basin and coastal zone management system: Montenegro coastal area and Bojana river catchment (Adricosm - STAR)
Personnel: Marina Cabrini
Funding: Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea (MATTM - Ministero dell'Ambiente e della tutela del territorio e del mare).
Study area descriptions/descriptor: Study area of the entire project: Adriatic Sea (40-46N, 12-20E), the Bojana river Delta and the whole Montenegro Adriatic coast: the project considers transboundary water issues, such as the Bojana river that is managed by both Montenegro and Albania, and the Montenegro coastal area, 2007-03-01/2010-02-28.
