This dataset provides broad information on taxonomic and morphological (shape, linear dimensions, biovolume, cell abundance, cell size) structure of phytoplankton communities, in an impacted marine coastal area. The study was conducted in order to understand the role of anthropogenic pollution on phytoplankton community. For this reason, 3 different areas, along a pollution gradient, were considering. Data were collected at different spatial and temporal scales, in marine ecosystems, located in South Adriatic Sea, close to an industrial area and a marine protected area, in Brindisi, along Salento Peninsula (Puglia region, Italy).

The dataset is part of a Master degree thesis titled “Evaluation of transitional coastal enviroment health status: Torre Guaceto”. The dataset includes taxonomic and morphological data of phytoplankton organisms collected in Torre Guaceto (Apulia, Italy), a marine protected area, located 15 km to the North of Brindisi. Torre Guaceto is a Site of Community Importance (SIC) and Special Protected Area.

The dataset is part of a Master degree study on the organization of phytoplankton communities in the port of Otranto (Apulia Region, Italy). Taxonomic and morphological phytoplankton data are collected.
