ECOLOGICAL QUALITY ANALYSIS OF AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS

ENEA provides technical support and consulting to develop and implement projects for the territorial management according to the principles of sustainable development. In the environmental context, it performs ecological quality analyses of aquatic ecosystems (chiefly running waters and coastal lagoons) and promotes biodiversity conservation and the optimization of Protected Area Management Plans. The Agency also delivers environmental education and training on sustainability and valorization of the territory.
