| [Table title] | Name of monitoring programme | Plankton diversity index (PH3) |
| [ProgrammeDescription] | Description of the monitoring programme | Monitoring of phytoplankton diversity (at a taxonomic level) is carried out mainly by sampling in coastal surface waters of fixed stations sampled at a wekkly to monthly frequency.
