Institute of Marine Science (ICM-CSIC). Ocean Sampling Day, Summer Solstice 2012 (20th June).

Sampling was carried out at Blanes Bay Microbial Observatory (BBMO; http://www.icm.csic.es/bio/projects/icmicrobis/bbmo/). BBMO is located at the NorthWestern Mediterranean and it is a good example of an oligotrophic (relatively nutrient-poor) coastal ecosystem which is relatively unaffected by human and terrestrial influences. Furthermore, it is one of the sites for which more information exists on the ecology of the Mediterranean planktonic environment, with papers dating back to the 1950's.

Sampling was performed at the ocean sampling site ”the yellow bouy” (Lat: 58°15’41’’N, Long: 11°27’11’’E) at 13:00 o´clock during the summer solstice 2012‐06‐20. Water was collected from a depth of 1 meter using a water sampler.
