The Water Framework Directive, under the European Legislation, requires that all European waters, should reach a good ecological status by 2015. To achieve this goal, a phytoplankton monitoring network with monthly water samplings was established to evaluate the ecological quality, in the coastal waters of the Community of Valencia, and the collected data have allowed us to study the efficiency of the monthly campaigns of the monitoring network. With the results obtained in this research, we have designed a new monitoring strategy for the coastal waters of Valencia that for certain water bodies can mean lower sampling frequency. The new monitoring policy provides results as reliable as the previous strategy and allows a precise ecological classification of water bodies at a lower cost. The methodologies we have developed can be used in other monitoring networks and are not limited by geographic location or by the type of water body.
根据欧洲法规，《水框架指令》要求到 2015 年所有欧洲水域都应达到良好的生态状况。为了实现这一目标，建立了一个浮游植物监测网络，每月进行水样采集，以评估瓦伦西亚社区沿海水域的生态质量，收集的数据使我们能够研究监测网络的每月活动的效率。根据这项研究的结果，我们为瓦伦西亚沿海水域设计了一种新的监测策略，对于某些水体来说，这意味着可以降低采样频率。新的监测政策提供的结果与以前的策略一样可靠，并以更低的成本对水体进行精确的生态分类。我们开发的方法可用于其他监测网络，并且不受地理位置或水体类型的限制。
