A new method for acquiring images of meiobenthic images using the FlowCAM.
(2018)
The purpose of this study was to develop a new method for investigating sediment-inhabiting meiobenthos using the Flow Cytometer And Microscope (FlowCAM). Meiobenthos are widely recognized as a useful indicator for assessing ...
Uncertainties of Estimating Extreme Significant Wave Height for Engineering Applications Depending on the Approach and Fitting Technique—Adriatic Sea Case Study.
(2020)
Studies on the extrapolation of extreme significant wave height, based on long-term databases, are extensively covered in literature. An engineer, working in the field of naval architecture, marine engineering, or maritime ...
Synergistic Exploitation of Hyper- and Multi-Spectral Precursor Sentinel Measurements to Determine Phytoplankton Functional Types (SynSenPFT).
(2017)
We derive the chlorophyll a concentration (Chla) for three main phytoplankton functional types (PFTs) – diatoms, coccolithophores and cyanobacteria – by combining satellite multispectral-based information, being of a high ...

The manual evolved from an initiative in
the Western Indian Ocean region that was
spearheaded by WIOMSA (Western Indian
Ocean Marine Science Association) and
Sustainable Seas Trust. The first edition
created considerable ...
Addressing ALDFG in Africa: a best practice guide.
(Sustainable Seas Trust, Gqeberha, South Africa., 2024)
Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is considered harmful not only because it may lead to ghost fishing, but because fishing gear makes up a significant proportion of macrolitter in the world’s ...
Sediment Sample Collection and Preparation for the Analysis of Plastic-Related Pollutants.
(Sustainable Seas Trust, Gqeberha, South Africa., 2023)
As research on plastic-related pollutants grows in Africa, it will become increasingly important to use harmonized methods to prepare and analyse samples for further analyses, so that results can be compared across the ...
Good Practice Guide for Underwater Noise Measurement.
(National Measurement Office, Marine Scotland, The Crown Estate, Teddington, England, 2014)
This document provides guidance on best practice for in-situ measurement of underwater sound, for
processing the data, and for reporting the measurements using appropriate metrics .
Measured noise levels are sometimes ...
BIAS Standards for noise measurements. Background information, Guidelines and Quality Assurance. Amended version. 2015.
(BIAS - Baltic Sea Information on the Acoustic Soundscape, 2015)
These standards were developed in the LIFE+ project BIAS with the intention to be used for long-term measurements of continuous underwater noise. The aim of the standards is to specify the data acquisition process for ...
SeagrassNet Manual for Scientific Monitoring of Seagrass Habitat, Worldwide edition.
(University of New Hampshire, SeagrassNet, Durham, N.H., 2015)
SeagrassNet is a scientific global monitoring program based at the University of New
Hampshire that investigates and documents the status of
seagrass resources worldwide and the threats to this important
and imperilled ...
Guideline for underwater noise: Installation of impact or vibratory driven piles.
(Danish Energy Agency, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2022)
This Guideline concerns underwater noise in relation to the construction of offshore wind in Danish waters. Technical methods are presented for performing numerical prognosis and measurements. Also, sets of acoustic criteria ...
