Monitoring Network

Eco-Risk Exposure & Spreading • Habitat data from ID • Fish diseases • Eco risk model

Ecological Risk Assessment - pollution • ROV visits • Sediment sampling • On board screening • Lab analyses

Environmental Risk Assessment Phase Habitats Exposure Toxicity Modelling

Outcome • Capacity building • SOPs and QC Procedures • Suitability studies • New method developement • Monitoring network creation
