Field Objectives:
Better understand the hydrological cycle of the lagoon and the geochemistry of the waters of Mari Ermi. Waters subject to strong physico-chemical variations, especially salinity.
Implemented actions:
Sampling of waters, sediments, current biofilms and of course stromatolites.

Note also that a collaboration is set up with the staff of the protection of the marine area of the peninsula of Sinis (arina marina protetta penisola del sinis) in order to set up a more regular monitoring of the physico-chemical variations of the lagoons and more frequent sampling.
