Abstract

The GO-SHIP nutrient manual covers all aspects of nutrient analysis from basic samplecollection and storage, specifically for Continuous Flow analysis using an Auto-Analyzer,and describes some specific nutrient methods for Nitrate, Nitrite, Silicate, Phosphateand Ammonium that are in use by many laboratories carrying out at-sea analysisand repeat hydrography sections across the world. The focus is on segmented flowanalyzers not flow injection analyzers. It also covers laboratory best practices includingquality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) procedures to obtain the best results,and suggests protocols for the use of reference materials (RM) and certified referencematerials (CRMs).

Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.1 By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.3 Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels
Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts::13.1 Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.a Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.1 By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution::14.1.1 (a) Index of coastal eutrophication; and (b) plastic debris density
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.3 Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels::14.3.1 Average marine acidity (pH) measured at agreed suite of representative sampling stations
