This dataset contains macrobenthos data from the eastern English Channel from 1999 and 2001.

This dataset contains benthos data from the Amrum Bank and inner German Bight from 2000 and 2001.

This dataset contains macrobenthos data from English waters between 2000 and 2002.

This dataset contains macrozoobenthos data from the BfG - Estuary Monitoring Programme.

The macrozoobenthos of the Southern Black Sea coast (Turkey) was quantitatively investigated during May-July 1999.

A collection of marine life surveys collated by the Marine Life Information Network (MarLIN) as part of their data access program. Surveys are either flagged as professional surveys or data collected by volunteer recorders as part for the Sealife Survey. Information about survey methodology can be found on the MarLIN Web site (www.marlin.ac.uk). There are currently 368 surveys collated by MarLIN containing 250,000 species records. Data ownership remains with the data provider and permission must be sought for commercial use of the data.

Samples of macro- and megafauna were collected in the North Aegean Sea, between 1997 and 1998. This dataset then served as a basis to describe the diversity, spatial and temporal variability and trophic relationships of different taxonomic groups inhabiting hard substrates.

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 Observatoire of Villefranche sur Mer supports the daily sampling of zooplankton since 1966 at a time series station located at the entrancy of the Bay of Villefranche sur Mer. Samples were collected by a horizontal tow at 5 layers, using a Regent net. The sampling site is located at the mouth of the Bay over a bathymetry of 80m and is thus open to the Ligurian Sea. Zooplankton abundance was counted by specialist at OOV under microscopes.

Data were collected as part of a monitoring programme, studying the changes in seaweed communities across an eutrophication gradient in the Kavala Gulf. As part of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), the results of this study were then compared to the Ecological Status assessment of the coastline, based on the Ecological Evaluation Index (EEI).
