This study describes the prevalent sedimentological and geochemical patterns and investigates the environmental status of the bottom of Gialova lagoon, a highly vulnerable coastal site of the EU’s Natura 2000 network. For this task, lithological, geochemical, and microfaunal analyses of sediment samples were combined with a high-resolution bathymet...
Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) are increasingly being used for the mapping and management of shallow-water environments such as lagoons, rivers and estuaries, due to their economic and ecological benefits. The Gialova Lagoon wetland in south-west Peloponnesus, Greece, is particularly difficult to navigate using crewed vessels and was therefore st...
The spatial distribution of lithological characteristics, organic carbon and major / trace elements was studied in the surface sediments of the Gialova lagoon, a shallow water lagoon (<1.0 m) which is located at southwestern Peloponnesus (Greece). The sediment samples were collected on the basis of a detailed bathymetric map and the backscatter p r...
Gialova lagoon is located in the northwest of Pylos city (Prefecture of Messinia, SW Peloponnesus) and is part of the Ecological Network "Natura 2000". The aim of the current research is the assessment of the ecological quality of the lagoon using hydroacoustic technique and the monitoring of abiotic and biotic parameters on seasonal basis. Side sc...
Coastal lagoons are important aquatic ecosystems with high ecological value. According to the Directive 92/43/EE, they have been defined as a priority habitat type. Gialova lagoon is located in the north-west of Pylos city (Prefecture of Messinia) and is part of the Ecological Network “Natura 2000”. The aim of the current research is the assessment...
