Collaboration: ARPA - Varese

Ultimately, our team's connection with "macrophytes" sampling will be in collaboration with ARPA (Regional Agency for Environmental Protection) - Varese. This is our local district delegation of the regional agency (Lombardia region) a public agency whose mission activities and services are addressed to support all choices of environmental policy of Lombardy Region, its districts, its counties, and all other public agencies of the territory.
