I. A Geographical Information System as a basis for the construction of mathematical models that will be used in the study of the sustainable use of the wetland resources. Information on the structural and functional characteritics of the ecosystem will be systematically organised, incorporating data from past studies with new research into biological, chemical, hydrological, meteorological and ecological characteristics of the ecosystem.
II. Socio-economic, chemical, physical and ecological models to predict the consequences of growth in demand for and pressure on natural resources in the area. A historical study of the natural resource use in the economic activities of communities living near the wetland will be made.
III. A management system package (software and written) for key natural resources (water and identified fauna and flora species) based on selected global and ecological modelling approaches for sustainable use of natural resources in wetlands.
IV. A resources quality monitoring programme that includes two permanent sites for the collection and transmission of chemical, physical and biological data for long term monitoring of the wetland by regional and local authorities as well as the international scientific community. Temporal and spatial modifications of key wetlands factors will be monitored to determine the impact of anthropic activities as well as the natural variations in the ecosystem stability.
