Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 17 December 2020 shows the Bay of Concepcion, a natural bay located on the coast of the province of Concepción in the Bío Bío Region of Chile. Since the 1950s, the area has seen the growth of the metallurgical and fishing industries, an increased military presence and port capacity. Today, the bay hosts two of the most important Chilean ports, Penco and Talcahuano. The Bahía de Concepción is open to the Pacific in the NW direction, which facilitates, during the austral spring-summer, the influx of nutrient-rich waters that boost phytoplankton blooms. Another particular phenomenon observed in the bay is the discolouration of the waters that occurs during summers of non-El Niño years. Phytoplankton blooms are indicators of the health of a marine ecosystem, and therefore, their monitoring is a key component of effective management of coastal and oceanic resources. The Copernicus Sentinel missions provide continuous, high-frequency water quality monitoring of coastal waters.
