1. (03 JUNE 2013) WP Leader: Neil Holdsworth, ICES EMODnet Chemistry II (2013-2016) WP5 Analysis and Recommendations

2. EMODnet chem needs very specific use cases, MSFD is the (current) best fit 2 lines of iterative engagement; SDN user panel (the details), and WG- DIKE/GES (the policy) Phase II; moving from ”off the rack” products to something ”tailored” In Conclusion...

3. BACKGROUND: Who’s pulling the strings... DG-MARE (Maritime Affairs) Blue growth Blue technology Shipping Wind/Wave energy Fisheries and Aquaculture DG-ENV (Environment) & EEA Effect of pressures from exploitation Impacts on environment of human activity Intrinsic value of environment

4. BACKGROUND: and the tools they have... DG-MARE (Maritime Affairs) Data Collection Framework (DCF) and DC-MAP Marine Knowledge 2020 EMODNET DG-ENV (Environment) & EEA Water and Marine Framework Directive (WFD/MSFD) Habitats, Bathing water etc. Directives INSPIRE (Public body spatial data) WISE and WISE-Marine

5. TIMELINE: Some important events 200720092011201320152018 MODEG est. Marine knowledge 2020 MSFD EMODnet phase IEMODnet phase II INSPIRE GES, ESA and WG-DIKE WG-DIKE (tech sub-group)

6. EMODnet Chemistry I (2009-2012)....improvements for next time -Large volume of work (still to do) on standardization of data/meta-data -Complexity of measurements in the current SDN vocabulary structure (too many possible combinations) -Heterogenity of measurements (spatial, method), need to split into homogeneous datasets for product generation -Contaminants; fixed QC is not adequate -Regional experts needed for regional products

7. EMODnet Chemistry I (2009-2012)....improvements for next time

9. EMODnet Chemistry II (2013-2016) WP5 Analysis and Recommendations WP description: inputs Specific MSFD feedback through WG-DIKE and WG- GES Other users, needs and feedback Gather feedback from ENV 2012/11 “Sea basin Checkpoints” Feedback from Chemistry project partners including data providers Overall EMODNet strategy developments at EU and Member States levels

10. EMODnet Chemistry II (2013-2016) WP5 Analysis and Recommendations WP description: objectives Engage with MSFD stakeholders and align/revise chemical portal and products through dialogue identify key users and report on the effectiveness of the system in meeting the needs of end-users provide a summary feedback to the products work package (WP3) To establish efficient tools to obtain users feedback

11. EMODnet Chemistry II (2013-2016) WP5 Analysis and Recommendations 2 lines of iterative engagement; - SDN user panel - MSFD decision making working groups: GES (Good environmental Status) ESA (Economics and Social Assessment) DIKE (Data and Information Knowledge Exchange)

12. EMODnet Chemistry II (2013-2016) From DOW calculate spatially distributed data products specifically relevant for Marine Strategy Framework Directive Descriptors 5 (eutrophication), 8 (chemical pollution) and 9 (contaminants in seafood) 1 based on guidance provided by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive Common Implementation Strategy 2

13. 2) MSFD CIS* -A series of papers developed and agreed through Commission working groups -Have implicit member state acceptance through marine directors -Provide guidance but not specifics on the ‘how to’ 1) Role of Regional Sea Commissions (RSC’s) -Commission has clarified since the drafting of EMODnet II tenders -Expectation to use/adapt existing data products/indicators

14. WG-DIKE and WISE-Marine Data assembly standards Data access Data discovery Strategy for activities under Art 19.3 DIKE-7/2013/05

15. WG-DIKE technical meeting (July 04) -WISE-Marine data flows mapping proposal template Assessment Data Collection (sources of observations) Data assembly Indicators WG-DIKE WG-GES

16. WG-DIKE technical meeting (July 04) Region: MSFD Region/Subregion(s) Descriptor: MSFD descriptor Decision basisOperational basis ASSESSMENT - Reference to national assessment(s) and when - Reference to regional assessment (RSC or other i.e ICES) - Reference to European assessment - Reference to Baseline assessment/Commission decisions Description of assessment product - Appropriateness for WISE- Marine output - Adaptations needed - Assessment scale - Temporal scale

17. WG-DIKE technical meeting (July 04) -Specific agenda placeholder for input from EMODnet Chemistry ” How can Emodnet (chemistry) engage in support to MSFD data reporting”

18. MSFD is the (current) best fit Phase II; moving from ”off the rack” products to something ”tailored”
