  1. Towards aJoint Monitoring Programmefor the North Sea and Celtic Sea Serge Scory (RBINS) on behalf of Lisette Enserink (RWS)

  2. Key Figures • Started 1st October 2013, duration 18 months • 8 Member States + Norway • 18 partners • 1 M€ (77% funded by EU)

  3. Main objectives • Show benefits & challenges of joint monitoring in the North Sea and the Celtic Sea: • potential for multi-use of platforms (ships, planes, buoys…) • constructive network between institutions (fisheries and environmental monitoring) • planning and evaluation tools to enhance the outcome of monitoring with regard to evaluation of GES • Resulting in increased efficiency & reduced costs • With an eye on transferability to other (sub) regions: North Sea and Celtic Sea and potentially beyond

  4. Case studies – options for joint monitoring • Reacts to RSCs common indicators • Elaborates logistics of improved integration • Estimates cost-benefit compared to current monitoring programmes/surveys • Identifies hurdles and opportunities, both operational and organisational/political • End product supports operational implementation

  5. Case studies - Topics • Eutrophication (chlorophyll) • Fish indicator • Benthos indicator • Multi-use of survey vessels

  6. Part I: Inventory and analysis • Activity A (CATALOG): To make an inventory of current marine monitoring programmes • Activity B (MSFD COVER): To assess current marine monitoring programmes for MSFD

  7. Part II: Integration • Activity C (MULTI-DISCIPLINARY): To assess the opportunities for multidisciplinary marine monitoring programmes • Activity D (ACROSS STATES): To assess the opportunities for joint planning and joint monitoring across Member States

  8. Part II: Integration (Cont’d) • Activity E (TOOLS): To develop planning and evaluation tools which will address the required precision and spatial and temporal resolution of integrated monitoring • Activity F (GAPS & NEEDS): To identify emerging monitoring gaps and needs

  9. Part III: Towards a joint monitoring programme • Activity G (NS/CS JMP): To compose a proposal for a joint monitoring programme • Activity H (MEETINGS): • Activity I (WORKSHOP): international event (March 2015) Part IV: Communication & Dissemination
