Netherlands National Monitoring of Phytoplankton in the Eastern Scheldt Region (1987-)

MON*BIO is a part of the Monitoring programme of the National Water Systems (in Dutch : Monitoring Waterstaatkundige Toestand des Lands; MWTL) The primary goal of the MWTL programme is to provide physical, chemical and biological information in relation to long term developments. So the focal point for the monitoring programme is based on trend detection. Another aim is to check the compliance to national and international assessment criteria. The Dutch marine and brackish waters are dived into areas. In field GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE the area is mentioned. In MON*BIO surface water is inspected to determine the numbers of specimen and the totals of these specimens. The starting date mentioned is not necessarily the same for every parameters or location this can differ from one parameter or location to another. The given date is the first year data is available of one or more locations. During the given period more or less locations can be sampled due to changes in the national monitoring programme. All inspections are carried out by Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's). Water: The frequency of collecting the samples differs from 7 till 30 times a year. The programme for chlorophyll started in 1978. The monitoring of phytoplankton started in 1990. For actual planning: www.waterplan.nl

MON*BIO为国家水系监测计划（荷兰语：Monitoring Waterstaatkundige Toestand des Lands，简称MWTL）的一部分。MWTL计划的主要目标是提供关于长期发展趋势的物理、化学和生物信息。因此，监测计划的焦点在于趋势检测。另一个目标是核实是否符合国家及国际评估标准。荷兰的海洋和咸水区域被划分为若干区域。在实地地理覆盖范围内，具体区域被提及。在MON*BIO中，对地表水进行检查，以确定样本数量及这些样本的总计。所提及的起始日期并不一定适用于所有参数或地点，可能因参数或地点而异。所给日期为某地或某地之一首次可获取数据年份。在给定期间，由于国家监测计划的变化，采样地点可能有所增减。所有检查均按照标准操作程序（SOP）进行。关于水质：样品采集的频率在每年7至30次之间。叶绿素监测计划始于1978年，浮游植物监测始于1990年。具体规划请访问：www.waterplan.nl
