The NF-POGO-UFPA training on Tropical Estuary Monitoring provided an introduction to techniques for monitoring physical and chemical parameters in the highly dynamic Marajó Estuary (Amazon Gulf), in northern Brazil. Over the course of five days, 14 trainees from six countries participated in both theoretical and hands-on shipboard activities, including the operation of oceanographic instruments, as well as the sampling and analysis of water, sediment, and plankton. The training was co-organised by POGO and the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) and was hosted by UFPA in Belém, Brazil.
