To ensure the reporting exercise can provide the fullest possible perspective on progress towards achieving GES in each region and subregion: definition of priorities

3. PRODUCTS FROM REPORTING
Building on DIKE_ , a number of examples are provided on how the reporting outputs (summaries per (sub)region), would be displayed in WISE-Marine

4. Steps forward
The following steps forward have been identified related to the development of the products presented:
February 2018: proposal to WG DIKE, discussed with countries and amended accordingly.
October 2018: draft query tool of reporting data developed and published in a test environment. Presented and discussed in WG DIKE.
Spring 2019: final query tool of reporting data developed and displayed in WISE-marine.
