EMODnet Chemistry WP1: Data collection and metadata compilation in sea regions: current status Partner contribution: BODC Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey 1

General overview of the partner contribution: Current status General overview of the partner contribution: MERMAN data transfer Seawater Sediment Biota Total Number of CDIs at beginning: 4176 4216 3984 12376 Number of CDIs at year 1: 12248 5407 5926 23581 Number of CDIs at year 2: 14080 5656 4911 24647 52754 At the end of year 2 a further 28107 CDIs through operational SDN export from BODC Spatial distribution: Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey 2

Total number of stations per parameter group per matrix: Current status Total number of stations per parameter group per matrix: Group Seawater Sediment Biota Fertilizers 145 Silicates 56 Organic matter 184 Chlorophyll 136 Partial pressure dissolved gases 122 Acidity 4 Pesticides and biocides 9 Antifoulants 10 7 Pharmaceuticals Heavy metals 37 172 235 Hydrocarbons 192 134 Radionuclides Plastics Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey 3

Data quality control performed by the data center: Type of QC: Seawater Sediment Biota Notes: Position check Carried out at submission Date check Missing value Added on export to ODV format Range check Done with ICES pre-submission Spike n/a Pre-existing statistics UK community assessment once a year for MERMAN data Visualization and manual checks Others: ….. ….

Difficulties encountered: CDI duplicates identified and removed since pilot submission = 806 CDIs held back due to technical difficulties with volume of parameters = 1385 CDIs held back due to resolving changes in metadata = 128 Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey 5

Planning for the last year Total number of stations per parameter group per matrix: Group Seawater Sediment Biota Fertilizers Silicates Organic matter Chlorophyll Partial pressure dissolved gases Acidity Pesticides and biocides Antifoulants Pharmaceuticals Heavy metals Hydrocarbons Radionuclides Plastics ~1500 CDI/series once metadata issues resolved 1387 biota 128 water Will submit the 2014 UK contaminants monitoring data in November after submission to ICES. At this stage cannot give a break down of what this will look like by stations or group. However as an indicator 2013 monitoring added 2608 CDIs split: 369 biota CDIs 249 sediment CDIs 1990 water CDIs Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey 6
