North Sea Observatory Tony Walne, Abigail McQuatters-Gollop SAHFOS, Plymouth SAHFOS currently: tows CPRs about 2000 miles/month in North Sea analyses about 200 samples (10 nm) records up to 500 plankton taxa Phytoplankton Colour Index Phytoplankton Micro zooplankton (<2mm) Meso zooplankton (>2mm)

What can SAHFOS bring to a North Sea Observatory? 75 years of plankton distribution Extensive, economical sampling network Conductivity, temperature, depth, chlorophyll fluorescence, underwater light field? Water samples for HAB species or nutrient analysis What can’t SAHFOS bring? Vertical profiles Real time observations

The CPR and policy: examples from the EU Marine Strategy Directive GES targetMSD indicatorCPR time-series Maintain biodiversityPhytoplankton, zooplankton, fish (including shellfish) Phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish larvae, meroplankton Minimal effects of non- indigenous species Phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish (including shellfish) Phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish larvae, meroplankton Healthy stocks of commercial fish and shellfish Fish (including shellfish)Fish larvae, meroplankton Healthy marine food websPhytoplankton, zooplankton, fish (including shellfish) Phytoplankton, zooplankton, PCI, fish larvae, meroplankton, jellyfish Minimised eutrophicationBiodiversity indicators, HABs, spatial and temporal distribution of nutrients PCI, HAB species, phytoplankton community composition, nutrients* Healthy benthic ecosystemsBenthic invertebratesMeroplankton Minimal effects of marine litterMarine litter (plastic)Microplastic ‘Safe’ concentrations of contaminants Synthetic compounds, non-synthetic substances and compounds, radio- nuclides Pesticides*, antifoulants*, pharmaceuticals*, heavy metals*, hydrocarbons*, radio-nuclides* Permanent alterations to hydrological conditions do not adversely affect marine ecosystems Spatial and temporal distributions of temperature, salinity, oxygen, pH (pCO2) Temperature*, salinity*, oxygen*, pCO2* Good environmental status (GES) targets listed in the MSD, with examples of relevant indicators whose monitoring can provide information towards achieving GES in European seas. Entries marked with * require fitting of CPR with passive water sampling device and will result in the establishment of new time-series. Objective: To achieve good environmental status (GES) of Europe’s seas by 2020
