1. EMODnetChemistry Data Products–Experts Workshop – 19 June 2014, Split MediterraneanSeaBasin Checkpoint a userofEMODnetChemistry N. Pinardi E. Clementi C. Panaroni INGV http://www.emodnet-mediterranean.eu/

2. MedSea Background: the ‘new vision’ • Changethe present fragmented EU repositories of marine data with an interoperable sharing framework • Move to a new paradigm where data are collected once and used for many purposes • Optimize observation networks by showing how monitoring meets the needs of public and private users (CHECKPOINT) 2 EMODnetChemistry workshop, Split 19/06/2014

3. MedSea Background The EMODnetMedSeacheckpoint is setting up a portal that will serve to quality assess, extract the synergies between and identify the gaps of the present monitoring data sets for the entire Mediterranean Sea. • The data will be extracted from: • existing EMODnet thematic portals • Global Monitoring for Environment and Security Marine Service (GMES) • JRC Data Collection Framework for Fisheries • other initiatives existing at the national scale and European basin-wide scale 3 EMODnetChemistry workshop, Split 19/06/2014

4. MedSea European common target architecture thematic assembly groups observation and data collection archiving at national and european data centres sea basin checkpoints check data layers, ensure that the data from different groups are mutually compatible and available Integrate different information and layers to see how they produce relevant products for End-users and by this define Priorities for observing systems 4 EMODnetChemistry workshop, Split 19/06/2014

5. MedSea Project aims • Carry out aliterature survey on the existing Mediterranean Sea monitoring systems • Produce two Data Adequacy Reports on the fitness for purpose of the monitoring with respect to ‘ 7 Challenges’ • Develop an EMODnetMedSea Portal that will publish outputs for the 7 Challenges: • Partners Climate & Coastal Protection WindfarmSiting Marine Protected Areas Oil Platform Leak Fishery Management Marine Environment River Inputs COORDINATOR 5 • EMODnetChemistry workshop, Split 19/06/2014

8. MedSea The Input data surveyforclassification • In order to summarize findings of previous studies of the adequacy of data in the Mediterranean Sea basin a series of actions have been carried out: • Definition of terminology according to the MFSD (ANNEXIII) • 2. A template was organized to internally collect a list of required input data to the challenges • 3. A method has been identified to classify the upstream data potentially used by the challenges and to establish their fitness for purpose by means of 7 'elements': • 1. Characteristics definition (variable or GIS data set) and category; • 2. Data source specification: provider, originating programme and dataset/dataset series; • 3. Overview elements: production purpose, intended uses, processing level; • 4. Spatial coverage; • 5. Temporal coverage; • 6. Accessibility; • 7. ISO 19113 quality elements. The data will be catalogued and data availability, reliability and accuracy will be analysed 8 EMODnetChemistry workshop, Split 19/06/2014

10. MedSea Challenge 2: Marine ProtectedAreas REQUESTED OUTPUT Analyse the existing European network of marine protected areas (national and international sites) and determine whether the network constitute a representative and coherent network as described MSFD METHODOLOGY Collect and map environmental, ecological and socio-economic information in the Mediterranean Sea in order to map protected species, habitats and ecosystems and assess the effectiveness of MPAs networks under the Mediterranean regulation. • INPUT DATA NEEDED FROM CHEMISTRY • Dissolved oxygen parameters in the water column • Pollutants in the water • Chlorophyll concentrations in the water column • Nutrient at the surface and at the bottom 10 EMODnetChemistry workshop, Split 19/06/2014

11. MedSea Challenge 6: Marine Environment REQUESTED OUTPUT Produce data layers (gridded) showing: (a) Seasonal averages of eutrophication in the MedSea basin for past ten years (b) Change in eutrophication over past ten years (i.e. where eutrophication has reduced and where it has increased) METHODOLOGY Collect and assess data relevant to the phenomenon of eutrophication characteristic of some areas of the Mediterranean Sea: such as rivers and urban/industrial/agricultural outfalls. Pollution by nutrients, happening in many coastal areas, is another subsidiary objective. • INPUT DATA NEEDED FROM CHEMISTRY • Marine water dissolved oxygen • dissolved nitrogen (nitrate, nitrite, ammonia) • dissolved phosphorus • total nitrogen (Tot_N) • total phosphorus (Tot_P) • silicates • Chlorophyll (Chl) 11 EMODnetChemistry workshop, Split 19/06/2014

12. MedSea Challenge 7: riverinputs REQUESTED OUTPUT For each river bordering the sea basin, identify the country where it enters the sea and a time series of annual inputs from rivers of: water – sediment – total nitrogen – phosphates – eels (b) Produce monthly averages, maxima and minima for these parameters over the past ten years METHODOLOGY Due to gaps in data availability, time series for river fluxes will cover different time spans and include at least annual means. For the last 10 years (2000-2010), special efforts will be given on compilation of monthly averages, maxima and minima for water fluxes, sediment and water chemistry parameters. • INPUT DATA NEEDED FROM CHEMISTRY • dissolved nitrogen (nitrate, nitrite, ammonia) • dissolved phosphorus • total nitrogen (Tot_N) • total phosphorus (Tot_P) 12 EMODnetChemistry workshop, Split 19/06/2014
