ANSBE-D5 Eutrophication |

| Q4f - Programme description | The Belgian MSFD monitoring programme ‘Eutrophication’ aims at assessing the following ETs:
• ET 26 – The 90 percentile of chlorophyll a concentration (in the growing season and over 6 years) is less than 15 μg/l.
• ET 28 – Complementary target: winter DIN concentrations are less than 12 μmoles/l (offshore) or 15 μmoles/l (coastal) and winter DIP concentrations are less than 0,8 μmoles/l
2 sub-programmes can be discerned:
• ANSBE-D5 Eutrophication-SP14 (delivering data to assess ET26), targeting chlorophyll a concentrations based on satellite data from the BPNS
• ANSBE-D5 Eutrophication-SP15 (delivering data to assess ET28), targeting the concentrations of nutrients in the BPNS |
