• MSFD indicator comparison process will start next week

• ICES preliminary report on implementation of WISE-marine is due in December 2008


WISE conceptual, long term aim is:WISE conceptual, long term aim is:

• Efficient management of all water-related information on EU level

• Coherence between all EU relevant reporting mechanisms and needs, including indicator assessments

• Access to information / data for all relevant EU level purposes and needs in a Shared Information System


WISE-Marine and the MSFDWISE-Marine and the MSFD

• WISE-Marine will be an IT-platform and a process for delivering data and indicators relevant for initial assessments and beyond required by the MSFD

• Countries will deliver initial assessments and the definition of ”Good Environmental Status” in 2012

• Programme of measures to arrive at GES has to be in place by 2015


Status of WISE-MarineStatus of WISE-Marine

• Originates as the Marine component of WISE (Water Information System for Europe)

• Concept paper in country consultation• Autumn 2008: implementation plan will be

developed• 2009 Finalize implementation plan and

start implementation.


Purpose of Wise-Marine in Concept Purpose of Wise-Marine in Concept paper:paper:

• A common platform for all users that facilitates reporting and use of reported data specified in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive.

• Should also generate awareness of the benefits of streamlined reporting across large regional differences because it will make the environmental obligations more transparent to both users and citizens.


What have we said in the concept What have we said in the concept paper?paper?

• Based on SEIS and INSPIRE Principles

• WISE-Marine becomes the formal compliance reporting tool between the Member States and the Commission on the MSFD.

• WISE-Marine provides marine indicators available on the European level developed by The European Environment Agency and European Marine Conventions in their State of the Environment assessments including the data needed to calculate them.

• WISE-Marine provides access to marine data products developed at European level, mainly by the Marine Core Services under the Global Monitoring for the Environment and Security (GMES).


WISE-Marine will support MSFD by WISE-Marine will support MSFD by providing data relevant for Annex III:providing data relevant for Annex III:

• Reference data sets (relevant maps)• Regular data flows on states, pressures,

and impacts related to human activities, climate change, eutrophication, and to physical, biological and chemical stressors.

• Other relevant environmental information collected in the context of the marine strategies could also be introduced.


Input dataInput data

• Directly by Member States, for example through the Eionet, or into Eionet by international organisations commissioned to act on behalf of Member States, e.g. if mandated, via the ICES data centre;

• By the service providers delivering observation data (in-situ and satellite observations) and model results to the MCS;

• The European marine observation and data network (EMODNET).

EEA key actions for 2009 - 2013

Marine


In 2009 we will …• launch information services in the areas of the five Environmental Data Centres in air quality, climate change, biodiversity, freshwater, marine and land use

• coordinate the provision of in-situ data for GMES services

• support environmental assessments of the state of action in the Baltic macro-region for the Swedish Presidency;


In 2010 we will

Produce the 2010 version of SOER 2005


Marine analysis

The sum of human pressures on the marineenvironment from fishing, energy and resourceexploration and exploitation, tourism, shippingand pollution is increasing, and the generalstate of marine ecosystems across Europe ispoor.The adoption of an 'ecosystem approach' to the management of the marine environment. Successful implementation will require a far better characterisation of the current situation, past trends and outlooks via comparable data and information.


Marine main objective

To support European and international marine-related policies and implementation by providingintegrated EEA marine assessments, covering inter alia linkages between marine ecosystem health and human well-being, supported by up-to-date data, indicators, models and analyses.


Actions in the Marine area (I)

providing support, via SEIS, the EEA Water Data Centre and the Water Information System for Europe (WISE), for the clarification of needs for monitoring and assessments, establishment, streamlining and improved access to new marine data flows, information and indicators under relevant EU legislation, particularly for the EU Marine Strategy Framework andthe Water Framework (coastal waters) Directives;


Actions in the Marine area (II)

strengthening the framework of EEA integrated marine assessments by enhanced coverage of the DPSIRcomponents, using improved indicators, as well as by integrating aspects of the ecosystem services approach (e.g. economic valuation), the Maritime policy initiative of a European Marine Observation and Data Network(EMODNET), Inspire, outlooks and scenarios;


Actions in the Marine area (III+IV)

• contributing to the establishment of the GMES marine core services;

• increasing our synergies with the UN and regional marine conventions, the scientific community and organised civil society in the development of EEAintegrated marine assessments to ensure that these better reflect the conditions in each European regionalsea;


Actions in the Marine area (V)

producing integrated assessments of the marine environment and the effectiveness of EU policies, including environment, fisheries and maritime issues, and the state and value of marine ecosystem goods and services under different policy-relevant scenarios, and contributing to marine assessments for the Baltic under the Swedish presidency in 2009, for Horizon2020 in the Mediterranean, on the Arctic for the EC and Arctic and Nordic Councils and for Eureca 2012.
