Funded by PIONEER European Project, seasonal collecting data campaigns during 1999-2000 have been developed to understand nutrients behaviour both in the river and in its plume. In this paper we show the results of two campaigns realised on April and July 1999. Profiles of salinity, temperature, nutrients and chlorophyll have been measured in different stations of its plume, with a new device that is able to take samples with high spatial accuracy in the sup
