Accumulation of pressures that can cause the entry of pathogens into the Strait and Alboran Demarcation (EM ESAL PRE Pathogens)
Description
The joint analysis of pressures that may facilitate the entry of pathogens into the sea has considered wastewater discharges, aquaculture facilities and mollusc farming areas, bathing areas and rivers (which may also provide wastewater loads). Ballast water has not been included in this analysis.
To identify areas of potential pathogen entry, an index has been developed based on the following criteria, applied to meshing:
- Presence of an urban wastewater discharge within 2 km.
- Presence of an aquaculture facility or mollusc area.
- Presence of the mouth of a river less than 2 km.
- Presence of a bathing area less than 500 m.
Each factor is assigned a value of 1, double scoring urban discharges with annual flows greater than 5 Hm3. They've finally joined in.
Areas of high pathogen entry potential have been selected from cells classified as “Very High” and areas of moderate pathogen entry potential have been selected from cells classified as “High”:
Very High: 6 / High: 5 / Medium: 3 to 4 / Low: 1 to 2 / Very Low: 0
