Heavy metals - Mercury (measurements percentages)
This API provides geospatial WMS data on mercury measurements, expressed as percentages, in marine organisms. It is published by the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) as part of the EMODnet shared geoserver infrastructure, covering Greek national waters. The dataset supports monitoring of heavy metal contamination levels in marine species, contributing to environmental assessment and research on pollution in marine ecosystems around Greece.Heavy metals - Mercury (measurements percentages)
