EMODnet initiative 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Phase 1 – limited sea basins Phase 2 - low resolution Phase 3 - multi-resolution EMODnet is the long-term initiative by EU DG MARE to open marine data, in particular for generating and providing generic European marine data products for different domains: bathymetry, geology, biology, chemistry, physics, seabed habitats, coastal mapping, and human activities EMODnet Chemistry 3 kick-off meeting, 17 -19 May 2017

Approach • Tight connection with MSFD to provide relevant information for descriptors and indicators • Interactions with EEA, RSC, JRC, ICES, MSFD-EMODnet coordination group to perform an EU-wide assessment of the parameters identified as indicators of eutrophication and pollution for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive EMODnet Chemistry 3 kick-off meeting, 17 -19 May 2017

MSFD GES Descriptors and EMODnet 1. Biodiversity 2. Non-indigenous species 3. Commercially exploited fish and shellfish 4. Food web integrity 5. Eutrophication 6. Sea-floor integrity 7. Hydrographical conditions 8. Contamination 9. Contaminants in seafood for human consumption 10. Marine litter 11. Energy, including underwater noise EMODnet Chemistry 3 kick-off meeting, 17 -19 May 2017

EMODnet Chemistry (2017 -21) Involves 45 institutes from 27 countries and 3 international organisations (ICES, Black Sea Commission, UNEP/MAP) Covers all European waters Aims to collect, standardize, check the quality of data developing new services to share and visualize information and products EMODnet Chemistry 3 kick-off meeting, 17 -19 May 2017

EMODnet Chemistry Collects data on: In 3 matrices: - water column; - biota; - sediment. Provides concentration maps of: - Nutrients (NO 3, PO 4, Si. O 4, NOx, NH 4, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus) - Chlorophyll - Oxygen produced, for trend detection, with 10 -year moving window from 1960 to 2014, by season and standard levels Provides time series plots of long time series of measured data EMODnet Chemistry 3 kick-off meeting, 17 -19 May 2017

Requirements for the new contract Continue gathering and harmonizing data sets for discovery and access Generation of regional data products. The chemicals chosen must reflect importance to the MSFD. Measurements of concentration of marine litter (collected on beaches, in fishermen's nets, or in specific surveys). This shall include macro-objects (nets, bottles etc. ) as well as fragments and microparticles in water column, sediments and beaches. Digital layers of plastic or litter must be available after the first year. EMODnet Chemistry 3 kick-off meeting, 17 -19 May 2017

Quality assessment for data & products Questionnaire based on ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 + Data are checked, flagged and completed with metadata by National Collators Update the official copy of data extraction Feedback loop guarantees data quality upgrade Report errors to the data originators Regional buffers a QC data buffers collections EMODnet Chemistry 3 kick-off meeting, 17 -19 May 2017 Regional data collections - Data Aggregation - Parameter Homogenization - Unit Conversion (to «umol/l» ) - Regional Quality Check - Global Analysis
