This dataset was compiled in order to monitor long-term responses of the macrobenthos community to the environmental quality changes in the Northern Adriatic Sea

The primary aim for this data collection was to built a database and to apply GIS techniques in the Gulf of Trieste and North Adriatic Sea

This data collected in the framework of a PhD thesis were collected between 1934 and 1936. Scientists from the Hellenic Centre of Marine Research computed the dataset afterwards (Vatova, A. 1949).

Benthic fauna in the Pechora Sea was mapped in July 1992 by Akvaplan-niva

The data is the integration of three different subdatasets i.e. the impact of dredging on benthic macrofauna (1979 data), comparison of macrobenthos between major European tidal estuaries (1991-92 data) and ecological monitoring of macrobenthos in an area affected by the effluents of a nuclear power plant (2004 data)

The ICES/HELCOM Intercalibration Exercise provided a series of replicate samples from one single station in Kiel Bay from May 1995

This dataset is part of a national project on the consequences of the Navarino Oil spill, in 1994 at the Gialova Lagoon, Ionian Sea. The Cretan coasts were studied from May 1987, in order to assess the level of their environmental degradation due to touristic and other anthropogenic activities

The Hellenic Centre of Marine Research collected samples in the context of a Number of National and EU-funded projects. The datasets covers qualitative temporal data from Polychaete worms in the Aegean and Ionian Sea

This CD contains part of the data from the Benthos Information system, the database of the Monitor Task-group of the NIOO.

This represents data on Benthic fauna, Food webs and the littoral zone from the Polish Academy of Sciences; Institute of Oceanology, taken between 1981 - 1985 from 60 stations annually investigated during summer.
