New sampling methods of the current waters benthonic macro-invertebrates - Directive 60/2000/CE 

The Directive 2000/60/CE requires the evaluation of the taxonomic composition of every biological component, the relationship among sensitive and tolerant taxa, the evaluation of the diversity and the community analysis in terms of relative abundances, in order to highlight the possible phenomena of dominances and unbalances among taxa. The course, organized in collaboration with: Environmental Agency System (APAT, ARPA, APPA); CNR-IRSA; University of the Tuscia - Viterbo; Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Superior institute of Health), is addressed to experienced operators that have already built up an experience in the application of macro-invertebrates investigation methods and who already have an appropriate knowledge of the taxonomy of the groups.
