waters has been realized through the use of rapid prototyping techniques, colorimetric
chemistries, electronics, and LED-based ...
AMAP Litter and Microplastics Monitoring Guidelines. Version 1.0.
(Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme, Tromsø, Norway, 2021)
Purpose of the guidelines
The purpose of the guidelines is to review existing knowledge and provide guidance for designing an Arctic monitoring program that will track litter and MP. The topics of litter, plastic pollution, ...
Comparison of Two 16S rRNA Primers (V3–V4 and V4–V5) for Studies of Arctic Microbial.
(2021)
Microbial communities of the Arctic Ocean are poorly characterized in comparison
to other aquatic environments as to their horizontal, vertical, and temporal turnover.
Yet, recent studies showed that the Arctic marine ...
Ocean Frontier Institute Indigenous Engagement Guide.
(Ocean Frontier Institute, Halifax, NS, Canada, 2021)
The Ocean Frontier Institute (OFI) has developed an Indigenous (Inuit, Métis, and First Nation) Engagement Guide (The Guide or Guide) to facilitate efforts toward respectful and meaningful engagement with Indigenous ...
Exploring the Pacific Arctic Seasonal Ice Zone With Saildrone USVs.
(2021)
More high-quality, in situ observations of essential marine variables are needed over
the seasonal ice zone to better understand Arctic (or Antarctic) weather, climate, and
ecosystems. To better assess the potential for ...
Technical annex on the determination of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in biota.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2021)
(PFAAs) are global environmental contaminants. PFOS and PFOA are chemically and biologically inert and very stable (Poulsen et al. 2005). PFOS meets the P (Persistent) and vP (very Persistent) criteria due to slow degradation. ...
Guidelines for Sea-Based Measures to Manage Internal Nutrient Reserves in the Baltic Sea Region.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2021)
The aim of these guidelines is to provide guidance for researchers planning to undertake research projects and for operators and environmental managers planning to implement activities designed to reduce the negative impacts ...
Guidelines for monitoring of phytoplankton species composition, abundance and biomass.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2021)
Long-term monitoring has enabled determination of the annual phytoplankton succession and facilitates the recognizing of aberrant phenomena and their progression in the phytoplankton community (e.g. Hajdu et al. 2006, ...
Guidelines for the monitoring of target non-indigenous species using molecular methods.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2021)
These guidelines describe the use of molecular methods for detection of target non-indigenous invasive species. The “target species” are those that “meet specific criteria indicating that they may impair or damage the ...
Guidelines for the monitoring of marinas.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2021)
NIS monitoring in major commercial ports has been guided by the Joint Harmonized Procedure of the HELCOM and OSPAR (HELCOM & OSPAR, 2013). However, monitoring of marinas has received less attention until now. PVC fouling ...
