Description
This report outlines the design of an observational system for transitional and coastal areas. These actions included in situ sampling campaigns, integration of new physical observing systems with a focus on ecosystems, planning ocean observations and analysing heavy metals, microplastics, biological factors, and toxicity. Additionally, environmental studies were designed, optimal observing systems were planned, and ecosystem assessments were conducted using bioindicators.
