Abstract
Since 1974, the master plan of the port of Bari established the port expansion works. The planned works started in the 1990s but, unfortunately, shortly after the start, the yard was closed due to the failure of one contracting company. After many years, the completion of the abovementioned works has been resumed, adapted, and updated to the new laws and regulation. Thereby the important works foreseen in the port master plan will be finally completed and new docks and yards will be available for port functions. Due to the complexity of the planned works, it has been necessary to draw up an extensive monitoring plan on the environmental components. This chapter intends to describe the monitoring strategy planned to control accurately the state of the environmental components during the different work phases in order to avoid any possible environmental pollution. The main steps of the monitoring strategy are reported as the preliminary observations on Posidonia oceanica.
