Abstract :
The aim of the MAREL network is to automate the collection of data relative to the coastal water quality in order to follow up the levels and trends of pollutant concentrations, to trigger alarms in the case of passing pre-defined thresholds or to obtain long time series for scientific needs. This article describes the subassemblies which make up the special characteristics of the MAREL network measurement device: the system for taking samples, the measuring chamber and the anti-fouling device
