EMODnet Chemistry II (2013-2016) WP5 Analysis and Recommendations (18 JUNE 2014) WP Leader: Neil Holdsworth, ICES
BACKGROUND: Who’s pulling the strings... DG-MARE (Maritime Affairs) DG-ENV (Environment) & EEA Blue growth Blue technology Shipping Wind/Wave energy Fisheries and Aquaculture Effect of pressures from exploitation Impacts on environment of human activity Intrinsic value of environment
BACKGROUND: and the tools they have... DG-MARE (Maritime Affairs) DG-ENV (Environment) & EEA INSPIRE Marine Pilot (2014) REVISION OF THE CFP Future data provision will have a relation to EMODnet but also others Data Collection Framework (DCF) and DC-MAP Marine Knowledge 2020 EMODNET Water and Marine Framework Directive (WFD/MSFD) Habitats, Bathing water etc. Directives INSPIRE (Public body spatial data) WISE and WISE-Marine
EMODnet Chemistry II (2013-2016) WP5 Analysis and Recommendations WP description: inputs • Specific MSFD feedback through WG-DIKE and TG DATA • Gather feedback from ENV 2012/11 “Sea basin Checkpoints” • Feedback from Chemistry project partners including data providers • Overall EMODNet strategy developments at EU and Member States levels
EMODnet Chemistry II (2013-2016) WP5 Analysis and Recommendations WP description: objectives • Engage with MSFD stakeholders and align/revise chemical portal and products through dialogue • identify key users and report on the effectiveness of the system in meeting the needs of end-users • provide a summary feedback to the products work package (WP3) • To establish efficient tools to obtain users feedback
EMODnet Chemistry II (2013-2016) From DOW calculate spatially distributed data products specifically relevant for Marine Strategy Framework Directive Descriptors 5 (eutrophication), 8 (chemical pollution) and 9 (contaminants in seafood)1based on guidance provided by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive Common Implementation Strategy2
1) Role of Regional Sea Commissions (RSC’s) • Commission has clarified since the drafting of EMODnet II tenders • Expectation to use/adapt existing data products/indicators 2) MSFD CIS* • A series of papers developed and agreed through Commission working groups • Have implicit member state acceptance through marine directors • Provide guidance but not specifics on the ‘how to’
[National] and [Regional bodies] Data –> Information flow for MSFD (coordinated) Monitoring [EMODnet] and [Regional Systems] Regional Conventions and EEA Data provision Data assembly (products) Ingestion Indicator provision Assessment product(s) data information knowledge
TG DATA (Jul. 2013, Apr. + Sep. 2014) • WISE-Marine ‘knowledge’ mapping proposal template Assessment WG-GES Indicators WG-DIKE Data assembly Data Collection (sources of observations)
MSFD key interactions (2013) • TG DATA: Specific agenda placeholder for input from EMODnet Chemistry • ”How can Emodnet (chemistry) engage in support to MSFD data reporting”
MSFD key interactions (2014) Hazardous substances in water X denotes reporting
MSFD key interactions (2014) Hazardous substances in biota X denotes reporting
MSFD key interactions (2014) MSFD 5.3.1 EUTROPHICATION BSC reporting on phytobenthos species level taxonomy, phytobenthos species biomass, total biomass X denotes reporting MSFD art 8, 9, 10 reporting from Palialexis et al. 2014
MSFD key interactions (2014) • TG DATA D5 and D8 Workshop (April) • EMD Chem products workshop was advertised • Italy presented their use of EMD Chem • Discussion on future interaction between TG DATA and EMODnet
MSFD key interactions (2014) TG DATA D5 and D8 Workshop (April) ”… could play a role in providing informational ‘state’ products, and as a reference point for understanding the general availability and distribution of data.”
MSFD key interactions (2014) • Specific EEA/DGENV workshop planned (September)* • Regional Data products compilation • Decentralised reporting • * Difficult to get the right attendees to Split
