EurOBIS Open in mapper Explore occurrences

Data were collected as part of a monitoring programme, studying the changes in seaweed communities across an eutrophication gradient in the Kavala Gulf. As part of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), the results of this study were then compared to the Ecological Status assessment of the coastline, based on the Ecological Evaluation Index (EEI).
