Paper abstract bibtex In the present paper we describe the sedimentological characteristics and the water physicochemical parameters of the Myrtari Lagoon of Amvrakikos Gulf, which is one of the most important aquatic ecosystems of Western Greece, as it is protected by international conventions and is listed in the Natura 2000 European Network. Sedimentological analysis involved grain size analyses, moment measures, Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Calcium Carbonate content (CaCO 3). Water physicochemical parameters such as pH, temperature, conductivity and dissolved oxygen were measured in situ with portable equipment, while nutrients such as nitrates, nitrites, ammonium ions and phosphates, as well as TOC and TN were analyzed monthly for monitoring period of one year. The grain size analyses of the lagoon's sediments revealed that it is composed of clay, sandy clay, sandy mud and mud. The main lithological type that dominates is sandy mud (>70% of the samples), representing a lagoon type frequently observed in western Greece. According to the water abiotic parameters, the lagoon is separated in two water masses, the eastern and the western. The eastern part displays always greater rates than the western one in relation to temperature, and salinity, indicating different water flows into the lagoon. Comparing our data with measurements of the past ten years and based on nutrients concentrations as well as TOC and TN, the environmental status of the lagoon has been improved while the TN and nitrates remain at about the same level. © by PSP.
