Draft data-model for MSFD 2018 reporting
E.g. OSPAR country reporting for D10 Indicators reporting Only core info to be reported (+ URI) Example using regional + national indicators E.g. OSPAR country reporting for D10 Regional indicators: - Beach litter - Litter on the seafloor - Fulmar litter ingestion National indicator: - Microplastics… Prefilled?

Reporting units proposal Paper to be presented in DIKE about the State of the Art Objective: to agree on a common layer of reporting units prior the reporting Suggested approach, based on the following levels: 1) MSFD Regions (Baltic Sea, North-east Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea) 2) MSFD Subregions/subdivisions 3) Further division into: - Coastal waters per WFD river basin district - Territorial waters (excl. coastal waters) per WFD river basin district - Beyond territorial waters per MSFD region/subregion/subdivision 4) Coastal water-bodies (as reported under WFD)
