ADRION HarmoNIA project
The last on-line meeting on the Progetto ADRION HarmoNIA (Harmonization and Networking for contaminant assessment in the Ionian and Adriatic Seas) was held on Thursday 18 June 2020, at the end of the project that which will be concluded next 30 June 2020.
The specific objectives of the project are: to share best practices to support the harmonized implementation of marine environmental directives in the ADRION region to strengthen the network of data infrastructures to facilitate access and re-use of marine data among countries bordering the Adriatic – Ionian Seas to support a coordinated approach in case of pollution dispersion accidents and define a common strategy to assess contaminant dispersion risk along the coast. The overall goal is to establish an Adriatic – Ionian network of agencies and institutes in charge in the assessment of marine contaminants, define best practices to tackle monitoring, assessment of impacts due to contamination, to collect and make accessible through a common and already available infrastructure regional datasets of contaminants for the Adriatic – Ionian region and to propose a regional strategy for a shared and harmonized evaluation of the risk due to contaminant dispersion from different sources of pollution.
