OUR SAILING REGION l UNSERE SEGELREGION l ONS ZEILGEBIED l NOTRE REGION The Pagasitikos Gulf is a round-shaped gulf in the region of Magnesia, with the city of Volos as its main port. The gulf is embraced by Mount Pelion, with an opening to the Aegean Sea. Pelion is an area of incredible beauty - a high mountain with abundant fauna and flora, combined with stunning beaches. The Pagasitikos Gulf is ideal for relaxed sailing, as the sea is relatively calm, with gentle winds that are channelled down from Pelion. Sailing here will give you the opportunity to discover the captivating beauty of its many unspoilt bays, with their teal-coloured waters. Swim in the glimmering waters near Lefokastro or Nies. Taste the local specialities in one of the many pretty seaside villages - Pelion’s Northern Evia has lovely golden beaches speciality (spetzofai) in the delightful Kato Gatzea surrounded by pine trees.

The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

Published: 2 August 2018 Abstract: In recent years, mercury (Hg) concentration that exceeds the Maximum Contaminant Level Standard set by the World Health Organisation for drinking water has been detected in the groundwater of Skiathos Island in Greece. The island single source of urban water is groundwater; as a result, tap water has been characterised as unsafe for drinking and people rely on bottled water for their everyday needs. The origin and speciation of Hg in the aquifer is investigated with the use of the Pourbaix diagram, while the possible correlation with groundwater salinization due to seawater intrusion is examined. Keywords: Pourbaix diagram; mercury speciation; groundwater salinisation 1. Introduction During the last few decades, there has been a growing interest worldwide in mercury and the mechanisms that govern its concentrations in air, soil and water. In many parts of the world, health authorities are becoming increasingly concerned about the effects of heavy metals on the environment and human health [1]. Mercury is one of the most important heavy metal environmental pollutants because of its volatility and accompanying long‐range atmospheric transport, its toxicity and its ability to bioaccumulate in organisms [2,3].

    Molecular Data Suggest Multiple Origins and Diversification Times Of

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Molecular data suggest multiple origins and diversifcation times of freshwater gammarids on the Aegean archipelago Kamil Hupało1,3*, Ioannis Karaouzas2, Tomasz Mamos1,4 & Michał Grabowski1 Our main aim was to investigate the diversity, origin and biogeographical afliations of freshwater gammarids inhabiting the Aegean Islands by analysing their mtDNA and nDNA polymorphism, thereby providing the frst insight into the phylogeography of the Aegean freshwater gammarid fauna. The study material was collected from Samothraki, Lesbos, Skyros, Evia, Andros, Tinos and Serifos islands as well as from mainland Greece. The DNA extracted was used for amplifcation of two mitochondrial (COI and 16S) and two nuclear markers (28S and EF1-alpha). The multimarker time- calibrated phylogeny supports multiple origins and diferent diversifcation times for the studied taxa. Three of the sampled insular populations most probably represent new, distinct species as supported by all the delimitation methods used in our study. Our results show that the evolution of freshwater taxa is associated with the geological history of the Aegean Basin. The biogeographic afliations of the studied insular taxa indicate its continental origin, as well as the importance of the land fragmentation and the historical land connections of the islands. Based on the fndings, we highlight the importance of studying insular freshwater biota to better understand diversifcation mechanisms in fresh waters as well as the origin of studied Aegean freshwater taxa. Te Mediterranean islands are considered natural laboratories of evolution, exhibiting high levels of diversity and endemism, making them a vital part of one of the globally most precious biodiversity hotspots and a model system for studies of biogeography and evolution1–4.
