This section describes the tasks related to the Phytoplankton Bio-Imaging project, carried out by the Ecology Unit of University of Salento.

1. Atlas of Lagoon Phytoplankton: a collection of more than 1000 cards regarding phytoplankton of transitional water ecosystems.
2. Sampling Plan And Sample Analysis: the goal of this activity is to collect a large set of samples from five different macro-areas and to obtain a variety of information from these samples (such as biovolume).
3. Taxonomic and Biovolume Tools: this tools are both integrated into the atlas and available separately and allows respectively the advanced search on the atlas and the calculation of Surface Area and Volume for each of the shapes present into the atlas.
4. Phytoplankton in 3D: in this section there is a description of the sampling activity involved in showing the 3rd dimension of phytoplankton samples, with a set of sample photos and the sampling schema.
5. Software Descriptor: in this section users can test the ecological quality status of the ecosystems through the ISS-Phytoplankton index calculation. The service in available both online in web version and downloadable in windows version.
6. Database: a tool that specific technician can use to do query on abundance experimental data stored into the database.
7. Training plan: the project includes the activation of a training plan relevant to the scientific issues tackled in the project.
