| Project Title / Coordinating Body |
COMBINE - Marine Monitoring in the COMBINE Programme of HELCOM / Helsinki Commission |
| Objectives | |
| Description | The COMBINE 2 cruise contributes to the HELCOM Baltic Sea integrated physical, chemical and biological monitoring programme, focusing especially on long-term macrozoobenthos monitoring and near-bottom water oxygen levels in the open sea area. It also contributes to the long-term monitoring of zooplankton communities. Water and sediment samples are taken for the monitoring of radioactive substances (HELCOM MORS programme). In addition a wave buouy will be deployed, and to study the underwater soundscape two hydrophones will be deployed. The monitoring activities are related to the requirements of EU directives. |
