Sampling Pollution in Lapa Canarias 2021
Description
The information contained in this data set refers to the LAPA CANARIAS 2021 campaign. This is the representation of the spatial distribution of the lapa sampling points that were carried out in the last half of 2021, in the intertidal zone, for the determination of heavy metals, organochlorine compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polybrominated biphenyl ethers for time distribution studies.
The area covered by the data provided covers the Canary Islands Marine Demarcation of the Member States, specifically two points were sampled on each of the 7 islands that make up the Canary Islands archipelago.
It is a data set composed of point elements, where each element represents the sampling point of the lapa.
The species of lapa sampled were the white lapa (Patella ulyssiponensis aspera) and the black lapa (Patella candei crenata).
Each object is associated with a series of alphanumeric variables such as the name of the sampling point, the name of the campaign, the date and georeferencing, according to the GIS protocol of the Spanish Marine Strategies project (ESMARES).
The geographical information collected is stored in a spatial database.
This work has been financed thanks to the project ‘Technical Scientific Advice for the Protection of the Marine Environment: Evaluation and Monitoring of Marine Strategies, Monitoring of Protected Marine Areas of State Competence (2018-2024)’. Marine Strategies are the marine environmental planning instrument created under Directive 2008/56/EC (as amended by Directive 2017/845) establishing a framework for Community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive), and have as their main objective the achievement of the Good Environmental Status (GES) of our seas. The 11 Good Environmental Status descriptors form the basis for the description and determination of good environmental status of the marine environment. They are established by the Directive in its Annex I. The marine assessment areas are located within the Marine Reporting Units (MRUs) defined in the framework of the Marine Strategies of Spain.
