DG Environment, Unit D.2 Marine Environment and Water Industry 19.11.2018 8th meeting of the Working Group DIKE Reporting on monitoring Link with Pilot Project - New Knowledge for an integrated management of human activities in the sea European Commission DG Environment Marine and Water Industry Unit 7 – 8 October 2013

Objective The purpose of the Pilot Project is to develop new concept and decision-making tools for integrated environmental monitoring for the MSFD to support management of human activities in EU marine waters. The project will develop integrated monitoring strategies in selected pilot regions, based on existing sampling across various disciplines (physical, chemical, biological) and scope the potential for joint monitoring programmes (within and between Member States).

Call for proposals Launch in autumn 2012 Overall amount available under this Call is €2.000.000 from European Parliament 3 proposals have been granted Starting date: 1 Oct 2013 Duration: 18 months
