Thirteenth
Meeting of the Commission on the
Protection of the Black Sea
Against Pollution
15-17 February 2006, Istanbul, Türkiye
Black Sea Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Program BSIMAP 2006-2010, Black Sea
Problem Eutrophication
Policy Question: Are the regional effort to combat eutrophication effective are properly reflected in concentrations of nutrients in the Black Sea
Expected results Trend analysis in nutrients
Criteria for assessment 0 trend or decreasing trends for nitrogen and phosphorus compounds
In place Recommended methodologies for nutrient analysis, national QA/QS, external QA/QS
Actions required incorporation of BSIMAP stations and frequencies in national monitoring programs; correspondence of national measurements to the measurements obtained with recommended Nutrient Analysis Manual; implementation of recommended analytical techniques, QA/QS
