MARINE BIOLOGICAL MONITORING - PARTITION OF MARINE HABITAT IN ITS MAIN ENVIRONMENTS: Pelagos (nekton and plankton) Benthos (Mediterranean bionomy) - MAIN TECNIQUES OF BIOLOGICAL SAMPLING IN MARINE AND TRANSITION HABITATS: sample representativeness, technical competences, destructive and not destructive samples, conservation and main methods of identifications and control, video and photography employment, environmental emergencies. Microbiological sampling Fitoplankton sampling Zooplankton sampling Fitobenthos sampling (algae and Posidonia) Zoobenthos sampling (hard and soft bottom) Nekton sampling (fish, turtle and cetacean) Chemical physical parameter sampling Sampling by bioaccumulators animals - BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS OF THE STATE QUALITY OF WATER ELEMENTS Indicative species and indicators Environmental European and national legislations (Dir. 2000/60/CE; D.Lgs 152/06; Dir. 2008/56/CE; D. Lgs 190/10). Marine coastal environmental and transitions monitoring (DM 260/10) ; Marine Strategy.
Workshops will be about arguments: - Sample techniques in diving - Observations of benthos samples in laboratory - Observations of plankton samples in laboratory - Main Posidonia oceanica analysis tecniques Marine Biological Monitoring a) FORMATIVE AIMS
The class will enable students to know the main techniques of sampling and monitoring of Mediterranean coastal and transitional coastal areas, Community legislation and institutional monitoring. It will also allow them to carry out simple sampling and subsequently verify in the laboratory the validity of field techniques. The class also includes visits to ARPA branches and laboraties.
b) EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION CAPABILITY to develope a knowledge of the main marine enviroments and the main techniques of sampling and monitoring applicable to them. CAPABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION: to have the ability to decide independently the appropriate methods for a particular environment. AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT: to be able to interpret the results of marine biological monitoring studies COMMUNICATION ABILITY: to be able to self-hypothesize simple monitoring programs. LEARNING CAPABILITY: to be able to use the learned method.
