Objective

To tackle the objectives of the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive 2008/56/EC (MSFD), Ifremer operates on a recurring basis chemical contamination monitoring campaigns in the Mediterranean.

In 2021, the recurrent cruises of public interest ROCCHSED and RINBIO/DCE are brought together in a single monitoring campaign of chemical contamination in the Mediterranean (SUCHI Med):

  • to inform the chemical status of the coastal water bodies under the WFD and under the monitoring of the achievement of the Ecological Good State for the descriptor 8 contaminants of the WFSMD,
  • to study the trends of chemical contamination at the historic stations RINBIO and ROCCHSED to report on this evolution
  • to perform specific monitoring of chemical contamination of major rivers and sewage plant discharges to better characterize contaminant inputs to the sea;
  • to monitor the achievement of the Good Ecological State of the D10C2 (microplastics).

This cruise will also allow a diagnosis of the ecological status of coastal water bodies against the benthic macrofauna descriptor of the WFD.

In addition to its regulatory objectives and always with a view to enhancing and optimising resources, the SUCHI Med 2021 campaign will also be the support for research actions, in particular a project on the study of marine biofilms as bioindicators of chemical quality in the Mediterranean coastal marine environment.
