Monitoring of coastal and transitional waters under the E.U. Water Framework Di...
Ferreira, J.; Vale, C.; Soares, C.; Salas, F.; Stacey, P.; Bricker, S.; Silva, M.; Marques, J.Abstract A set of guidelines are presented for the definition of monitoring plans in coastal and transitional (estuarine and lagoonal) systems subject to the European Union Water Framework Directive – WFD (2000/60/EC). General principles of best practice in monitoring are outlined, including (a) the definition of three types of broad management objectives: water quality, conservation, and human use, to which t...
Applicability of ecological evaluation tools in estuarine ecosystems: the case ...
Teixeira, H.; Salas, F.; Pardal, M.; Marques, J.Abstract In accordance with the Water Framework Directive guidelines (WFD, 2000, European Communities Official Journal L327 2000/60/EC), classification schemes and ecological evaluation tools (based on benthic invertebrate fauna data sets from 1990 to 2002) were applied in the lower Mondego estuary. Two distinct scenarios could be tested due to the implementation of mitigation practices in 1999, following a lo...
User-friendly guide for using benthic ecological indicators in coastal and mari...
Salas, F.; Marcos, C.; Neto, J. M.; Patrício, J.; Pérez-Ruzafa, A.; Marques, J. C.Experience demonstrates that none of the available measures on biological effects of pollution should be considered ideal. The use of a single approach does not seem appropriate due to the complexity inherent in assessing the environmental quality of a system. Rather, this should be evaluated by combining a suite of indices providing complementary information. ; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B...

Salas, F.; Patrício, J.; Marcos, C.; Pardal, M. A.; Pérez-Ruzafa, A.; Marques, J. C.Assessing the ecological status, a concept implemented in the European Water Framework Directive [EC, 2000. Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council 2000/60/EC establishing a framework for community action in the field of water policy PE-CONS 3639/1/00, p. 72], requires the application of methods capable of distinguishing different levels of ecological quality. The Average Taxonomic Distinctness ...
Application of the exergy index as ecological indicator of organically enrichme...
Salas, F.; Marcos, C.; Pérez-Ruzafa, A; Marques, J. C.The increase of stress induced changes in marine environments caused by different types of marine pollution made necessary the search for indicators that assist in assessing pollution effects at the community level. The main goals, with a view to an effective management, are the early detection and evaluation of environmental responses to pollution and to avoid or mitigate negative impacts that different uses m...
Evaluation of the applicability of a marine biotic index to characterize the st...
Salas, F.; Neto, J. M.; Borja, A.; Marques, J. C.The need for new tools to assess the environmental status of coastal and estuarine systems encouraged Borja et al. [Mar. Pollut. Bull. 40 (2000) 1100] to develop a new index, the AZTI's Marine Biotic Index (AMBI), which needs to be tested as much as possible in different geographical areas to assess its applicability. This index was applied in the Mondego estuary (western coast of Portugal) together with the Sh...
