The monitoring program of the two Lesina and Varano lagoons includes the in situ measurement of chemical-physical and biological variables, used to support the biological quality elements for a better interpretation of the environmental quality and a correct classification of the ecological status of the transitional environments. In addition, considering the high vulnerability of lagoon environments, the monitoring program also includes the evaluation of spatial gradients and temporal fluctuations of trophic variables (dissolved and total nutrients) of lagoon waters, in order to highlight any anoxic crises or anthropic inputs that could cause environmental criticalities.

The Northern Adriatic Sea (NAS) represents an area heavily impacted by maritime traffic, tourism, and resource exploitation. The project aims to create cross-border technical, scientific and institutional cooperation to address the challenge of assessing the impact of underwater environmental noise on marine wildlife and the NAS ecosystem in general, useful for ensuring effective protection of marine biodiversity and ecosystems and developing more sustainable use of marine and coastal resources. The objectives of the project are pursued through the construction of a shared monitoring network for underwater noise assessment, evaluation of acoustic impact on marine biological resources, and development of a planning and management tool.

NAUTILOS was created with the goal of complementing and expanding existing observational instruments and services in the EU, and enabling the collection of marine data with greater spatial resolution, temporal regularity, and length than currently available.
