Analisi

Description	The MEDA unit carries out the data processing of the automatic profilers, returning them in standard and graphic formats. Moreover, chemical and instrumental analyses are conducted on the main environmental and biological variables.
Services provided	Post processing of CTD data Data processing of automatic profilers Analyses of: üInorganic nutrients; üTotal and dissolved Nitrogen and Phosphorus; üDissolved oxygen; üParticulate organic carbon ( POC); üTotal suspended solids ( TSS ); üChlorophyll a ( spectrofluorimetry and spectrophotometry ); üPhotosynthetic pigments ( HPLC ); üAbsorption spectra; üModulated fluorescence In order to access the service, users have to fill the form and mail it at: francesca.margiotta(at)szn.it The analyses will be scheduled with Dr. Francesca Margiotta
Equipments	Flow Sys Systea Autoanalyzer Thermo Flash EA 1112 Series CHN analyzer Agilent 1110 Series HPLC SHIMADZU RF-5301PC spectrofluorometer Agilent 8453 UV-Visibile spectrophotometer Walz Phyto-Pam

Monitoraggio

Description	The MEDA Unit has many years of experience in the environmental field, gained through participation at several external projects. The activity consists in data collection, analysis and elaboration aimed at transferring technical and scientific reports to local and national institutions or to private entities. The unit is specialized in: •coastal waters monitoring; • assessment of e environmental impact (due to sediment disposal, engineering works on the seabed or on the coast, etc.); • biogeochemical characterization of sand and marine sediments for reclamation, beach nourishment, environmental impact assessments etc.( in collaboration with other institutions); • Monitoring of benthic biocoenosis and of P. Oceanica meadows (in collaboration with the Ecology of Benthos Laboratory – Ischia).
Services provided	Continuous acquisition (by means of multiparametric probes), data processing and analysis hydrographic variables (temperature, salinity, dissolved , fluorescence, transmittance, PAR, SPAR and pH) along the water column Sampling and analysis of the main abiotic and biotic variables: - Inorganic nutrients; - Total and dissolved N and P; - Dissolved oxygen; - Particulate Organic Carbon (POC); - Total suspended solids (TSS); - Chlorophyll a; - Photosynthetic pigments; Plankton sampling; Sampling and pre-treatment of sediments addressed to geochemical analyses and to the characterization of benthic communities.
Equipment	These activities are mainly carried on board the M / N Vettoria or on other research vessels. Moreover, in absence of suitable support structures, a fully equipped mobile laboratory can be set up, allowing the first processing of samples. Field work instruments: Multi-parametric CTD probes equipped with dissolved oxygen, fluorescence, trasmittance, pH, ORP, altimeter, Par & Spar sensors Carousel automatic sampler with 12 Niskin bottles (10LT) Lab instruments: Flow Sys Systea Autoanalyzer Thermo Flash EA 1112 Series CHN analyzer SHIMADZU RF-5301PC spectrofluorometer Agilent 1110 Series HPLC

turtle point In Portici, close to the harbour, the Stazione Zoologica established a new "Research Centre - Observatory of the Gulf of Naples” and the largest Marine Turtle Research Centre of the Mediterranean sea. The aim of these structures is to open a window between the science conducted at the Stazione Zoologica and the public interested into the research activities at sea.

One section is dedicated to the research and protection of the marine environments and its health, and includes the possibility to follow in the real time its activities.

This structure, with wide external spaces, hosts an area dedicated to scientific laboratories specialised in advanced marine monitoring. The area includes also an exposition and aquaria dedicated to the 11 Descriptors of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. This multifunctional area is equipped with a room for seminars, conferences, and workshops, and spaces dedicated to students training, aimed at the dissemination of scientific marine research. The Sea Turtle Research Centre is equipped with a quarantine area and a surgery room for rapid chirurgical interventions.
