Here we propose a methodology for monitoring water quality based on the cartography of littoral and upper-sublittoral rocky-shore communities (CARLIT, in short). With the use of spatial databases, GIS, and available information about the value of rocky-shore communities as indicators of water quality, it is possible to obtain an environmental quality index representative of the ecological status of rocky coasts. This index, which completely fulfils the requirements of the WFD, is expressed as a ratio between the observed values in the sector of shore that is being assessed and the expected value in a reference condition zone with the same substrate and coastal morphology (Ecological Quality Ratio, EQR). The application of this index to the coast of Catalonia (North-Western Mediterranean) is presented.This study has been financially supported by the “Agència Catalana de l’Aigua” (Departament de Medi Ambient i Habitatge, Generalitat de Catalunya). One of the authors (SP) has been supported by a research contract from the CSIC in the I3P program funded by the European Social Fund.Peer reviewedElsevier201320132007info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://hdl.handle.net/10261/63848reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
