As a part of the work programme of the European Environment Agency (EEA), the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) has compiled a first version of a European marine database 'Marinebase'. This database on water quality parameters covers aggregated data related to eutrophication...

Eutrophication is the enhanced primary production of marine algae due to excessive supply of nutrients from human activities, independent of the natural productivity level of the sea area in question. The main objectives of this report are to evaluate the causes, state and development of...

The aim of this report is to examine whether estimates of the plant pigment chlorophyll-a from satellite data can support the evaluation of eutrophication in European marine and coastal waters. Satellite images are a good indicator of the occurrence of algal blooms in relation to eutrophication...

These technical guidelines detail the content and format of data required by the European Environment Agency from the marine conventions and national sources. The information collected on Europe's transitional, coastal and marine waters is used for the production of indicators in the EEA's core...

This report provides guidance to member countries on quality control procedures for Eurowaternet data which need to be taken into account at national and regional levels. The guidance focuses on quality control of sampling and analysis. It describes tests on the integrity of the data carried out...
