Monitoring Fact Sheets DIKE 7 18./19. March 2013, Brussels Proposal for the use of web-based monitoring “fact sheets” for the purpose of MSFD reporting

Current State Requirements MSFD Reporting Sheets Art. 11, 12, 19(3) Annex III, IV Reporting Sheets (Upload) WISE-Marine of monitoring requirements at national or regional level Implementation WFD Art. 8 Annex V Reporting Sheets (Upload) WISE INSPIRE Annex I, II, III INSPIRE Web- Services (ISO/OGC) Monitoring Handbook with Fact Sheets for each Programme/Sub-programme Dr. Hans-Christian Reimers, State Agency for Agriculture and Environment Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Potential of Monitoring Fact Sheets (MFS) Monitoring Fact Sheets can be combined in an electronic Online Handbook to provide an efficient, multi-use and decentralized approach for reporting and other purposes The content of the fact sheets can be made permanently available in different formats (HTML, PDF, etc.) Monitoring programmes can be updated directly by those responsible for the monitoring Existing information on monitoring strategies do not need to be transferred into reporting sheets Continuous availability of up-to-date monitoring programmes in support of the tasks of the EU Commission and the EEA Direct use of contents of the monitoring programmes in the context of public consultation Dr. Hans-Christian Reimers, State Agency for Agriculture and Environment Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Monitoring Handbuch / Monitoring Handbook HTML PDF 0,754 MB Dr. Hans-Christian Reimers, State Agency for Agriculture and Environment Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Structure of the Monitoring Fact Sheets General information (theme, definitions, competent authorities, national working groups) Monitoring requirements (link to EU legislation and international frameworks, monitoring purposes, spatial coverage) Monitoring concept (parameters, monitoring network, frequencies, sampling and methods, QC/QA etc.) Assessment procedures Quality assurance Literature Further work required Dr. Hans-Christian Reimers, State Agency for Agriculture and Environment Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Technical Implementation Simple HTML forms Connected to a database system (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle,…) Make use of a content management system (CMS: e.g. Cantao, Joomla, …) Suitable web-interfaces have to be developed (XML based on the reporting schemas) This requires an one-off investment in the short-term with gain in time, costs and efficiency in the longer-term Dr. Hans-Christian Reimers, State Agency for Agriculture and Environment Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Making use of web-based monitoring fact sheets Identify the reporting information to be covered by the fact sheet approach. All “sub-programme-level” information as well as parts of the “programme-level” information (in terms of DIKE 07/2013/04) seem appropriate for the fact sheet approach. Agree on the general work flow Agree on how to provide/submit the information for the EU COM and the EEA (the same XML schema as for the reporting sheets should be used to ensure comparability) Dr. Hans-Christian Reimers, State Agency for Agriculture and Environment Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

What information is covered by MFS Reporting sheets Monitoring handbook with fact sheets Maps, Diagrams, Tables Web services (Download, WMS, WFS) Database for marine data Dr. Hans-Christian Reimers, State Agency for Agriculture and Environment Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
