Target description
Establish monitoring programmes for monitoring possible developments in eutrophying practices Indicators: Salinity, temperature, inorganic nutrients, chlorophyll a and phytoplanktonic biomass. [for further information on bibliographic references please refer to the written report]
Reduction of the amount of nutrient marketed for coastal waters by 2024. Implementation indicator: Total NO3 and N. Livestock Activity: (1) promoting sustainable practices
Reduction of the amount of nutrient marketed for coastal waters by 2024. Implementation indicator: Total NO3 and N. Livestock Activity: (1) promoting sustainable practices
Ensure that transitional waters remain in good environmental status, in particular in relation to the lagoons of Fajans, on the island of S. Jorge by means of management measures. Implementation indicators: Concentration of toxic or toxic levels and levels of toxins by shellfish. [for further information on bibliographic references please refer to the written report]
