Developments of EMODnet Chemistry and Sea Data Net

Developments of EMODnet Chemistry and Sea. Data. Net in support of MSFD 7 th meeting of the Technical Group on Marine Data (TG DATA) – 4 December 2018, Copenhagen - Denmark Dick M. A. Schaap Alessandra Giorgetti MARIS OGS The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) is financed by the European Union under Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.

EMODnet Chemistry data platform Aims at collecting, aggregating, validating and giving access to data related to D 5 Eutrophication Nutrients, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen … On water column D 7 Hydrographical conditions Acidity (p. H, p. CO 2) On water column D 8 Contaminants Pollutants, heavy metals On water column, sediments and biota D 10 Marine litter Abundance On coastlines, on the sea-floor, micro-litter

Use is made of Sea. Data. Net CDI Data Discovery and Access service 3

EMODnet Chemistry and EEA EMODnet Chemistry has shared validated data collections on Nutrients, Chlorophyll and Hazardous substances in marine organisms EEA has informed to the Eionet National Reference Centers representatives that data on contaminants and nutrients will no longer be requested via the WISE So. E data call, but collected from EMODnet Chemistry/ICES (Nov 2018) Following EEA experts feedback EMODnet Chemistry has taken action for: adapting ODV export data format to EEA needs, with one P 01 per record, harmonization of P 01 (in the local variable names and measurement units) and the split of P 01 terms in subcomponents collecting additional metadata related to QA-QC methods via links (possibly Ocean Best Practices repository) and data

EMODnet marine litter databases Two central EMODnet databases developed: beach litter, modelled after the OSPAR - MCS approach seafloor litter, modelled after the ICES - DATRAS approach micro litter: Sea. Data. Net CDI – ODV adapted with TG ML Close cooperation with TG ML formats and classifications Data to be made available from CDI Data Discovery and Access Service Products to be made available from Viewing and Downloading Service

EMODnet marine litter databases Beach litter: Data exchange from OSPAR - MCS Cooperation with JRC ‘Project on ML baselines'(2012 - 2016) Data exchange from De. Fish. Gear (Adriatic - Ionian region) Seafloor litter: Web service with ICES - DATRAS, including BITS Contacts with MEDITS: no data yet! Contacts with De. Fish. Gear Central submission facility with standard data formats for partners input

EMODnet cooperation with TG ML EMODnet Chemistry Beach litter database used by TG ML/JRC for EU Baselines TG ML requested MS to provide EMODnet Chemistry with 2017 data TG ML proposed EMODnet to progress with micro-litter data collection and seafloor litter

INSPIRE compliance EMODnet Chemistry has mapped Sea. Data. Net data formats (CDI, ODV) for D 5 C 1 “Nutrients concentrations in water” to INSPIRE data themes: Ø Environmental Monitoring Facilities (EF), Ø Oceanographic Geographical Features (OF) Ø Observations and Measurements (O&M) Number of issues encountered with new INSPIRE ETF metadata validator and with data modelling => change requests submitted JRC has provided written feedbacks Sea. Data. Net has further analysed JRC feedback and will give a written response soon

Upgrading of CDI Data Discovery and Access service New service will be launched March / April 2019 Work on-going for central INSPIRE Transformation service – end April 2019

Leading concept for Blue Cloud Providing a cloud platform with common services for data preprocessing, subsetting, analyses, visualizations, publishing, DOIs… Applying common standards and interoperability solutions for providing harmonised data and metadata Providing harmonised discovery and access to data output from multiple sources, such as European research and monitoring data gathering, but also from other European and international data infrastructures
