Monitorização da Biodiversidade Intertidal e Divulgação Científica

Portugal tem ao longo da sua costa a maior parte da sua população. Consequentemente, existem por todo o país escolas com acesso fácil às praias. Os ecossistemas da zona intertidal são laboratórios vivos e as oportunidades educacionais e científicas que oferecem são inúmeras.
O programa MoBiDiC procura conciliar as necessidades científicas, com a divulgação científica e a educação dos jovens alunos. Os objectivos deste projecto vão portanto mais além da sensibilização para a questão da biodiversidade. Os alunos terão oportunidade de interagir com membros da comunidade científica nacional e internacional, conhecer a fauna e flora da costa portuguesa e contactar com ecossistemas marinhos.
Simultaneamente, julgamos que estas actividades com a comunidade escolar garantem ainda um bom impacto junto da restante comunidade. Os dados recolhidos pelos alunos de diferentes pontos do país serão colocados online, numa base de dados criada para o efeito. Estarão assim disponíveis para toda a comunidade escolar, para serem usados nas aulas, bem como para o público em geral e para comunidade científica.

Contaminants-Benzo[A]pyrene: sediment stations v2019

This product displays the stations present in EMODnet validated dataset where benzo[A]pyrene levels have been measured in sediment.
EMODnet Chemistry has included the gathering of contaminants data since the beginning of the project in 2009. 
For the maps for EMODnet Chemistry Phase III, it was requested to plot data per matrix (water,sediment, biota), per biological entity and per chemical substance. 
The series of relevant map products have been developed according to the criteria D8C1 of the MSFD Directive, specifically focusing on the requirements under the new Commission Decision 2017/848 (17th May 2017). The Commission Decision points to relevant threshold values that are specified in the WFD, as well as relating how these contaminants should be expressed (units and matrix etc.) through the related Directives i.e. Priority substances for Water. EU EQS Directive does not fix any threshold values in sediments. On the contrary Regional Sea Conventions provide some of them, and these values have been taken into account for the development of the visualization products.
To produce the maps the following process has been followed:
    1. Data collection through SeaDataNet standards (CDI+ODV)
    2. Harvesting, harmonization, validation and P01 code decomposition of data
    3. SQL query on data sets from point 2 
    4. Production of map with each point representing at least one record that match the criteria
The harmonization of all the data has been the most challenging task considering the heterogeneity of the data sources, sampling protocols.
Preliminary processing were necessary to harmonize all the data :
    • For water: contaminants in the dissolved phase;
    • For sediment: data on total sediment (regardless of size class) or size class < 2000 μm
    • For biota: contaminant data will focus on molluscs, on fish (only in the muscle), and on crustaceans
    • Exclusion of data values equal to 0
Seafloor morphology in the area of the mid Atlantic ridge.

Data were recovered in the framework of the  Catarina-Paleoacid aims to retrieve surface and subsurface sedimentary samples from the bottom (Box Corer, Piston Corer y Gravity Corer) of the North Atlantic at around 3000-4000 m depth in several areas currently bathed by different components of the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW), as the Labrador Sea Water (LSW), Denmark Strait Overflow Water (DSOW) Iceland-Scotland Overflow Water (ISOW) and North-East Atlantic Deep Water (NEADW).

MEPA Inland Water Survey - Pollutants in sediment 2013

The Sediments Baseline Survey was conducted in 10 inland water bodies. The samples were collected between 29th May and 6th June 2013. Two replicate samples of superficial (up to 10 cm depth) sediments were collected from each station using pre-treated samplers. Where water was sufficiently shallow, sediments were collected by hand using a core sampler, while in locations where water bodies were deep, sediment was collected using a hand-held stainless steel grab. The pollutants tested for include the list of priority substances and other pollutants as stipulated in the Environmental Quality Standard Directive (2008/105/EC). Chemical analyses of sediment samples for all parameters analysed were carried out according to standard methodology at CADA Laboratories s.n.c. (Italy), which are accredited according to ACCREDIA 2 CEN/ISO 17025 certification.

EMODnet Bathymetry - Source reference version 2024

The EMODnet DTM is comprised of tens of thousand individual datasets that are carefully selected and processed by the EMODnet Bathymetry team. In case datasets overlap the best possible solution is chosen to deconflict the overlap zone. As a result, the resulting EMODnet DTM is a patchwork of deconflicted individual dataset. The EMODnet source reference service is a graphical representation of this patchwork. It is based on a vector representation of all patches brought together in a topological non-overlapping network. 
The network is created based on a reverse engineering process using the DTM as input. To reduce the amount of noise in this network, the DTM has been reduced by a factor 5 before processing the network. As a result, small overlap with the detailed EMODnet coastline is possible. 
The same network is also used for the EMODnet Quality Index service. 
Each patch in the network defines a number of attributes: 
•	Dataset name (reference to either SeaDataNet or Sextant)
•	Area_type (patch is part of an individual survey or part of a composite DTM)
•	Dataset id (internal EMODnet DTM number)
The attributes are used in the EMODnet data portal to derive at an URL that gives access to the metadata service SeaDataNet of Sextant depending on the Area_type (i.e. the data layer is clickable). 
The colours used in the WMS are randomly generated and have no specific meaning other that to differentiate the patches from one another. 
The service is available in both WMS and WFS

HYPER

Hypoxia in the Baltic Sea has become more frequent and widespread over the last century due to increased nutrient inputs from land and atmosphere. Sediments and the benthic faunal community play an important role for recycling nutrients, and the development of hypoxia may occur as cascading regime shifts leading to further deterioration of ecosystem health. Our present knowledge on processes leading to hypoxia is fragmented and discipline-specific, with strong repercussions for accurately computing nutrient reductions needed to restore the Baltic Sea. HYPER will synthesise this knowledge at an ecosystem scale and establish a holistic scientific understanding of the mechanisms leading to hypoxia and associated effects on benthic fauna. 


To achieve this HYPER will quantify nutrient feedback rates from the sediments over gradients of salinity, temperature and benthic community structure. HYPER will describe the temporal and spatial variability of these processes within the entire Baltic Sea and use this information for improving existing models describing the hydrodynamics and biogeochemistry. Required nutrient reductions to maintain a healthy ecosystem will be estimated taking future climate changes into account. 


The project will combine field and experimental work into a modelling framework for nutrient management via the Baltic Nest Institute. The project is carried out at 11 institutes covering 6 countries around the Baltic Sea.
Seafloor bedforms in the Gulf of Cadiz. 3B

Image from ROV Argus showing bedforms in the distal furrow area of the
upper contouritic terrace eroded by the Mediterranean Outflow Water in the continental slope of the Gulf of Cadiz. Section of a sandy dune with superimposed sinuous to linguoid ripples several centimetres in height. The ripples are roughly perpendicular to the dune crestline and flow in different directions. The differences in the sediment colour are explained by different sand fraction compositions, whereby the lighter particles are composed of
biogenic debris.
