  1. Extent, Effect & Evaluation of Maritime Activities from Satellite Remote Sensing Vittorio Barale Joint Research Centre of the European Commission Ispra, Italy

  2. Lake Garda Northern Italy as seen by ASTER This ASTER image was acquired on 29 July 2000, and covers an area of 30 km by 57 km in north eastern Italy. Lake Garda was formed by glaciers during the last Ice Age, and is Italy's largest water body. It is 51 km long and about 3 to 18 km wide. The Sarca is the chief affluent of the lake, which is drained south-ward by the Mincio, into the Po and then into the Adriatic Sea. The version on the LEFT shows vegetation cover in red, water surfaces in blue, and built-up areas (villages, barren soil, roads) in light blue. Clouds appear white and their shadows are black. The version on the RIGHT has the land area masked out, while a harsh stretch was applied over the lake area to display variations in sediment load. Also visible are hundreds of boats and their wakes, criss-crossing the lake.

PEGASO : integrated (land, coastal interface, sea) ecosystem approach • ecosystem processes & space/time scales • (mutual) impact of different maritime sectors PEGASO : promote Med & Black Sea maritime sustainable management • overall strategic objective & broad vision of task at hand • based on a comprehensive, long term perspective PEGASO : JRC to contribute in exporting approach beyond EU borders • continuity between land and sea AND between regions • scientific understanding is THE key factor http://ies.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ http://emis.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ vittorio.barale@jrc.ec.europa.eu
