Since 2003, part of this coastalmarine environment is protected by the Terra Nova Bay ASPA(n.161).\r\nDuring the Mario Zucchelli Station opening period, the Project will follow the evolution of the principal environmental features and of the pelagic and sympagic communities in stations, localized inside and outside the ASPA area (Faraglione, Portofino, Santa Maria Novella). The structure of the benthic community will be studied as in the past in front of Road Cove, in Adelie Cove and Tethys Bay.\r\nThe ecological parameters (Science Plan EASIZ ) taken into account will be as follows:\r\nIce measurements: type of ice, thickness, coverage (with other PNRA projects).\r\nWater column measurements: temperature, salinity, fluorescence, nutrients, chlorophyll and pigment spectra, particulate and dissolved matter,bacterioplankton,phytoplankton (composition),microzooplankton (composition), zooplankton (composition)\r\nSediments: textural characteristics, biochemical composition of the organic matter\r\nBenthic and nekton communities: Structure and short- and long-term variations of key species\r\nThe main atmospheric parameters will be analysed to understand the land-sea interactions (in collaboration with other projects).\r\nGIS, cartography and amplification of the website will be developed within the present competences in the MNA    <\/p>        <p
