Project Description

In accordance with the WFD, the specific uses with high economic and social value carried out by ports are specifically recognized, this way their water bodies are also recognized as heavily modified water bodies (HMWB). This recognition justifies the reduction of its environmental objectives to fulfil the named good ecological potential, and demands a specific management system. In this context, this project intends to develop great quality searching results to strengthen the present situation in accordance with the European legal framework about water quality in
harbours. Definitively, PORTONOVO intends to standardize a methodology for the water quality management in port areas all over along the Atlantic Area.
