Beschrijving:
    The fine-grained sediments in estuaries, nearshore areas and shelf seas control bio-geochemical processes and have impact on the substances that tend to be adsorbed to them, such as pollutants and nutrients. eutrophication, algae blooms, evolution of pollutants, ephemeral sealing of the sea-floor by fluffy layers, benthic and pelagic ecosystems and siltation of navigation channels and harbours. Monitoring of SPM-concentration is important to understand these marine and estuarine ecosystems. However, in order to be useful, the monitoring must be accompanied by the context on how they have been measured, processed, analysed, and validated. Up till now no general accepted best practice in measuring SPM-concentration exists. The aim of the workshop was to discuss on normative approaches that are required to identify, capture, and track all details necessary to document the uncertainty and thus the scientific validity of these data. Uncertainty issues are important for scientists and decision-makers that have to evaluate, e.g., the Good Environmental Status of the European marine areas.
