Within Portugal's National Biological Sampling Project (PNAB) a set of activities are conducted in the collection, management and use of biological data, collected from the registered commercial fleet in mainland Portugal (fisheries-dependent data) and several research surveys (independent fisheries data). These activities allow the assessment of the state of fishery resources, population structure, distribution and abundance of resources, diversity and dynamics of biological communities associated with the fishery resources and biological studies (growth, reproduction).This resource shows the geographic distribution of deep-water rose shrimp abundancy index (nr. individuals/hour) registered during the DEMERSAL2008 campaign in September 2008.

The TOPOMED-FREEZE campaign was organized as a joint campaign of the TOPOMED and FREEZE projects sponsored by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) (Plate reorganization in the western Mediterranean: lithospheric causes and topographic consequences, TOPOEUROPE/0001/2007; Submarine FREshwater dischargEs: characteriZation and Evaluation study on their impact on the Algarve coastal ecosystems, PTDC/MAR/102030/2008). These two projects share complementary study areas and objectives. The first concentrates on the effects of neotectonics on the evolution of landscape and environments and the second on the investigation of Submarine Fresh-Water Discharges.

This Geographic DataSet represents the location where the water samples are collected for monitoring the Bathing Waters Identified in the Autonomous Region of Madeira.Bathing waters are identified annually by DROTA - Direcção Regional do Ordenamento do Território e Ambiente, in accordance with Decree-Law No. 135/2009, of June 3, amended and republished by Decree-Law 113/2012 of 23 May, which establishes the legal system for the identification, management, monitoring and classification of bathing water quality and provision of information to the public about them (Directive 2006/7 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 February )The annual procedure for the identification of bathing waters, begins with the preparation of a proposal to identify bathing waters, in cooperation with local authorities.
