National Monitoring Programme for Phytoplankton Species occurrence in Aquaculture Production Areas
This API provides data from Ireland's National Monitoring Programme for phytoplankton species occurrence in aquaculture production areas, maintained by the Marine Institute. It covers the identification and enumeration of phytoplanktonic species, supporting detection of species that may form Harmful Algal Blooms under favourable environmental conditions. The programme monitors national aquaculture waters and is used to track shifts in phytoplankton populations that could pose risks to shellfish and finfish farming, informing biotoxin monitoring and aquaculture management decisions across designated production areas.The Phytoplankton National Monitoring Programme for the identification and enumeration of phytoplanktonic species is an important measurement in the detection of those species which may form a Harmful Algal Bloom event. Where favourable environmental conditions occur, some species may form 'blooms…
