Monitoring strategy description
Monitoring activities cover entire Romanian shelf, either waters strongly affected by the Danube’s inputs and coastal activities or marine waters, less affected by human induced eutrophication (to emphasize the natural variability of planktonic communities); Monitoring on a coastal station (Cazino Mamaia) to assess trends based on long-term data series.

Gaps and plans
Data collected are useful to MSFD monitoring for assessing the pelagic community characteristics; data are usable in establishing/updating the environmental targets. Needs improvement of sampling frequency.
