The Black Sea

Zaitsev, Yu. P. (contributor); Alexandrov, B. G. (contributor) - Europäische Umweltagentur; European Environment Agency - 2002

Nearly 87 % of the Black Sea is entirely anoxic (without oxygen) and contains high levels of hydrogen sulphide. This is the result of past geological events, its shape and its specific water balance (high degree of isolation from the world ocean, deep water depression with a maximum depth of 2...

The North Sea

Walday, Mats (contributor); Kroglund, Tone (contributor); … - Europäische Umweltagentur; European Environment Agency - 2002

The North Sea is a shallow and rather young ecosystem formed by the flooding of a landmass some 20 000 years ago. Its coasts and waters are still being colonised by new species from the Atlantic. The strong coupling between benthic and pelagic communities in the shallow parts of the sea makes it...

Eutrophication in Europeu0092s coastal waters

Ærtebjerg, Gunni (contributor); … - Europäische Umweltagentur; European Environment Agency - 2001

Eutrophication is the enhanced primary production of marine algae due to excessive supply of nutrients from human activities, independent of the natural productivity level of the sea area in question. The main objectives of this report are to evaluate the causes, state and development of...

Remote sensings contribution to evaluating eutrophication in marine and coastal waters

Ærtebjerg, Gunni (contributor); Sørensen, Kai (contributor) - Europäische Umweltagentur; European Environment Agency - 2001

The aim of this report is to examine whether estimates of the plant pigment chlorophyll-a from satellite data can support the evaluation of eutrophication in European marine and coastal waters. Satellite images are a good indicator of the occurrence of algal blooms in relation to eutrophication...
