摘要: This paper aims at contributing to the coastal environmental management by developing a new trophic status index of water (TSIW). The is tailored semi-enclosed bays with estuarine characteristic like Cienfuegos bay in Cuba. We also propose pressure indicators related exporting and assimilation capacities as tool assess vulnerability system eutrophication. TSIW based on response eutrophication processes showing correspondence predefined previous reports quality. Thus, proposed reliable scientific measure current stage quality establish baseline for further studies.
