Summary

Although that environmental hazardous substances have been monitored in brackish water in Norway for decades, no common monitoring strategy has been established, equivalent to those used in coastal waters, rivers, and lakes. In this report we provide examples of monitoring methods for river basin specific substances pollutants and priority substances in transitional waters. Recommendations for the selection of monitoring methods are given.
