| Lineage information about this project or dataset |
| n 2006, CFB undertook an additional series of fish investigations in transitional Waters in an EPA-funded study. This study, the METRIC project, was undertaken by CFB in conjunction with the Marie Institute. The study was designed to develop protocols and metrics for implementing Water Framework Directive in Irish Coastal and Transitional Waters. Colleagues from the Marine Institute undertook studies on phytoplankton and higher plants and on benthic invertebrates. CFB undertook the fish studies. |

| This resource describes measurement of Chlorophyll (μg/L)
This is a 9 month project funded by the Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Research Technological Development and Innovation Programme, National Development Plan 2000 ? 2006. The 2 partners of the project are the Marine Institute and the Central Fisheries Board. The projects primary objective is to collect Benthos, Plants and Fish data (historical and new) from transitional and coastal waters and test the tools that have been put forward for determining the quality of water for the Water Framework Directive. |
