| Abstract | The aims of the NMMP (NMMPWG, 2001) are: Detect long-term trends in physical, biological and chemical variables at selected estuarine and coastal sites. Report the spatial and temporal distributions of these variables and their inter relationships. Support and ensure consistent standards in national and international monitoring programmes for marine environmental quality. Make recommendations to MEMG as to how new analyses and techniques are best implemented in the United Kingdom. Co-ordinate, make optimum use of, and gain maximum information from marine monitoring in the United Kingdom. Provide and maintain a high quality dataset for key chemical and biological variables in the marine environment of the United Kingdom, which is available for national and international fora such as the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea and the European Environment Agency. |
