3. SUPPORTING THE MSFD REPORTING
Near future
Capitalise on EMODnet investment
Gain experience of data network
Shaping development of EMODNet
Harmonisation with INSPIRE
Towards 2018
Ease burden of data sharing
Speed of availability of data

4. EMODnet: MAKING DATA AVAILABLE
EMODnet is contract based
Timings are related to start of contract(s)
Timespan
EMODnet phase
Themes
MSFD Regions
ur-EMODnet
Bathymetry (Hydrography) Geology Chemistry Biology Physical habitats
All themes covered Greater North Sea and at least one other region
ur-EMODnet (+1)
Physical parameters (physics)
All regions
2013 for 3 years duration
Phase 2 contracts
Existing themes plus the addition of Human Activities
Extend to all regions
2014 onwards
EMODnet will be established with permanent funding, a Secretariat will be established and governance formalised.
Future phases dependent on Commission Green paper

5. A SUBSET OF MSFD INFORMATION
Nutrients, chlorophyll a and oxygen
Existing data flows
Well defined
Described as indicators in the Commission Decision
ur-EMODnet; nutrients and chlorophyll are reported into two different portals
Harmonization
Realistic scenario

10. SUPPORTING THE MSFD REPORTING
CONCLUSION OF TG-DIKE (03 JULY, 2012)
MODEG and WG-DIKE cooperation
How to connect
EMODNet is just one solution
Different levels of maturity (in EMODnet portals and also Member state data infrastructure)
OVERALL: Willingness to explore further
WG-DIKE/MODEG 30 OCTOBER 2012
Neil Holdsworth, ICES

11. SUPPORTING THE MSFD REPORTING
MODEG/COM to clarify plans/thoughts on:
Linking data from outside the immediate consortium
Principle
Procedure/Process
Support available (from EMODnet)
Forming new partnerships after consortium is created
WG-DIKE/MODEG 30 OCTOBER 2012
Neil Holdsworth, ICES

12. SUPPORTING THE MSFD REPORTING
MODEG/COM to clarify plans/thoughts on:
A single point of access/contact for unconnected institutes/member states
Scalable membership
i.e to offer more support for smaller institutes/Member states?
