Phytoplankton and its attributes (biomass, abundance, composition, and frequency and intensity of phytoplankton blooms) are essential to establish the ecological status in the Water Frame Directive. The aim of this study is to develop an index "Glophymed" based on all phytoplankton attributes for coastal water bodies according to the directive requirements. It is also developed an anthropogenic pressure index that takes into account population density, tourism, urbanization, industry, agriculture, fisheries and maritime transport for Comunitat Valenciana (Spain). Both indexes (Glophymed and human pressure index) based on a multisampling dataset collected monthly during several years, show a significant statistical correlation (r2 0.75 α<0.01) for typology IIA and (r2 0.93 α<0.01) for typology III-W. The relation between these indexes provides suitable information about the integrated management plans and protection measures of water resources since the Glophymed index is very sensitive to human pressures.
浮游植物及其属性（生物量、丰度、组成以及浮游植物水华的频率和强度）对于确定《水框架指令》中的生态状况至关重要。本研究旨在根据指令要求，为沿海水体开发一个基于所有浮游植物属性的指数“Glophymed”。还开发了一个人为压力指数，该指数考虑了人口密度、旅游业、城市化、工业、农业、渔业和海上运输对西班牙巴伦西亚社区（Comunitat Valenciana）的影响。这两个指数（Glophymed 和人类压力指数）都是基于多年来每月收集的多采样数据集开发的，对于 IIA 类型（r2 0.75 α<0.01）和 III-W 类型（r2 0.93 α<0.01）具有显著的统计相关性。这些指数之间的关系提供了有关水资源综合管理计划和保护措施的合适信息，因为 Glophymed 指数对人为压力非常敏感。
