Specialists of the National Environmental Agency of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, with the support of the European Union, have started the third stage of monitoring in the Georgian coastal waters of the Black Sea.
Georgian specialists will carry out chemical and biological studies of water quality in accordance with the methodology of the EU Water Framework Directive. Based on the obtained results, the ecological condition of the study areas will be assessed. This study will help to update the Black Sea Coastal Zone Management Plan in the Adjara region.
Within the framework of the EU-funded project "EU Water Initiative Plus for the Eastern Partnership Countries (EUWI+)", the laboratories of the National Environmental Agency were equipped with a state-of-art equipment needed for water quality and hydrobiological research that gives opportunity to increase water quality research components and conduct scientific research using modern methodologies.
