  1. EMECO State of play, future development and EMOS Dave Mills CEFAS, Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Sciences Lowesoft UK MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011 David.mills@cefas.co.uk

  2. Ferries Research vessels CPR Gliders Towed bodies Satellites Buoys Models Creating better evidence & new knowledge An ecosystem based approach • Partnership – bottom up • Integrated approach - EDT • Whole greater than the sum of its parts • Make best use of new observational strategies, tools, & technologies • Research & policy driven community European Marine Ecosystem Observatory www.emecogroup.org MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011

  3. Building the partnerships… EMECO – NOOS North Sea Observatory meeting Lowestoft June 2009 Western Shelf Observatory – (IBI-ROOS) Kick-Off meeting AFBI, Belfast June 2010 MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011

  4. Why an ecosystem based approach • MSFD requires GES by 2020 • Management of human activities having an impact on the marine environment, • Integrating the concepts of environmental protection and sustainable use • Apply an ecosystem-based approach to the management of human activities • Regional cooperation at each stage • Active dialogue between scientists and policy makers to turn ecological data into a useable form MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011

  5. Turbo-charging observations Data intensive science I • Multiplatform – RVs, moorings, ships of opportunity (Ferries), drifters, bottom landers, profilers, towed bodies (CPR, Scanfish), gliders, animals, people (divers, beach goers, sailors) • Acoustics • Remote sensing – satellites, aircraft, radar • Optics – laser particle sizers, flow cytometry, multispectal sensors • Sensors and probes galore – optrodes, electrodes, • In situ analysers • Automated water samplers - multiple variable analysis • Lab on a chip MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011

  6. Turbo-charging models ECOSYSTEM MODELS Size – spectra Ecopath BIOTA – Production, Consumption, Spatial pattern, responses to environmental change and fishing BIOGEOCHEMICAL MODELS MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011

  7. Where next - partnerships • UK – Integrated Marine Observing Network • Top down process (MSCC) based largely on existing resources • Partnership delivering efficiency gains • Research and policy driven observations • Based on UKMMAS infrastructure • Delivering societal benefits: policy, science and operations MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011

  10. EMECO Datatools Assessment map Time series chart KML, Data (CSV, SML) North Sea (OSPAR) UK Maritime Area (CP2) NW European Shelf (1ogrid) Physical (T, S, Waves, SPM) Chemical (N, P, Si, O2) Biological (chlorophyll, benthic species numbers, diversity) Time series North Sea temperature Ship, Buoys (multi parameter), Wavebuoys, satellites, models www.emecodata.net MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011

  11. Ecological data in a ‘useable’ form – observations • Ecological data • Physical • Chemical • Biological UK-CP2 Benthic Sp. Diversity OSPAR N/Sea Chl Time series temperature multi platform MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011

  12. Useable information – eutrophication assessment MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011 Eutrophication – descriptor 5

  13. Useable information – eutrophication assessment • Other descriptors to follow • Litter • Commercial fisheries • Hydrography (?) MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011 Eutrophication – descriptor 5

  14. Useable information – eutrophication assessment • Other descriptors to follow • Litter • Commercial fisheries • Hydrography (?) A streamlined ‘on-line’ assessment system that:- “enables rapid integration and assessment of multi-national, multi-agency multi-platform, and multi-variate ecological data” MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011 Eutrophication – descriptor 5

  15. EMECO State of play • Partnerships, to create better evidence and new knowledge • Tool to streamline evidence creation from partner data • Initial focus on North Sea, subsequently Western Shelf • North Sea partnership based on NOOS consortium • UK IMON recent development (last week !)

  16. EMECO Datatool - EDT • Enabling technology that streamlines environmental assessments • Initial focus on eutrophication (OSPAR, MSFD, ND, UWWTD, WFD) • Current work • Broadening to other descriptors (Defra) • Litter, Commercial Fisheries, Hydrography (?) • Risk based approach to monitoring and assessment • Operationalising EDT (Cefas) (– review compliance) • JERICO Datatool based on EDT engine • Future work - • FIXO3 (New I3 proposal) • Marine Litter • Uptake into EuroGOOS WG Products

  17. Could EMODNET provide the backbone for a European marine observation system? If not, why? What is lacking? • Yes – possibly • What purpose will EMOS serve • Will the proposed division of funding for EMODNET deliver whats needed – will it support ecosystem based management • Problems with biology ! • Clarity about problem(s) to be addressed – ie why do we need EMOS • Clarity about End User (Funder) and Intermediate User needs is critical • EMOS needs to be based on a shared vision stretching across the community • Emphasis on co-development of the system, co-ownership and co-production for its operation MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011

  18. How could they be developed to better serve needs at regional level or at global level • Regional/global level • Engage with relevant regional /global infrastructures (policy, programmatic, alliances) • Being clear about the ‘regional question’ in order to define needs • Natural system integrity can help to determine correct spatial scale • Clear links between different parts of the supply chain; from data to information to knowledge and products • Ensuring solutions (to problems/needs) that are adaptive • Recognising what is generic and what is specific • Scaleability • Aim for operational status – robust, reliable, repeatable etc

  19. How could they be developed to better serve needs at regional level or at global level • Environmental monitoring/MSFD (policy) • Straight forward where monitoring and assessment requirements clearly defined (indicators, data needs, reference conditions, targets, measures, confidence requirements etc • Ocean climate • Real time/delayed mode, forecasting / nowcasting, operational • Acidfication – ecosystem structure and function • Industry • Define information products • Use existing infrastructure !

  20. What does useable mean – Future fisheries and environmental assessment needs • Latest status of marine environment • Monthly time resolution • Set into historical context – long term time series • Future ‘realistic’ scenarios of environmental status (much advice based on predictions) • Method of communication and timing crucial

  21. Summary • Partnerships the flavour of the decade ! • Agreeing to work together easy – making a difference is the challenge • Clarity about purpose is essential – data management is a means to an end • Enabling technologies changing the way we can meet need • EMOS the right way forward • Need to engage to sustain MRI, Brussels, Nov 2011
