SHARK - National zooplankton monitoring in Sweden since 1979
Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute
Description
The national monitoring program was initiated by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and is now financed by the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management. Monitoring is performed by Stockholm University, Umeå University, Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute and Gothenburg University. Data are stored in the Swedish Ocean Archive (SHARK) by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI). Data should be sampled and analyzed according to the HELCOM COMBINE Manual - Part C Annex C7 Mesozooplankton https://helcom.fi/media/publications/Guidelines-for-monitoring-of-mesozooplankton.pdf). However, deviations from the manual might occur.
Information about the program and the methods are available in Swedish at the website of Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, https://www.havochvatten.se/vagledning-foreskrifter-och-lagar/vagledningar/ovriga-vagledningar/undersokningstyper-for-miljoovervakning/undersokningstyper/djurplankton-trend--och-omradesovervakning.html
