2. Approach for chemistry data gathering
Continuation of approach of gathering and populating relevant measurements data into the SeaDataNet CDI Data Discovery and Access service with CDI metadata format and ODV data format; use of MIKADO, NEMO and OCTOPUS tools
Focus on data concerning:
Eutrophication (nutrients, chlorophyll and oxygen)
Contaminants
Marine micro litter
Geographical scope expanded with Barents Sea
Data scope expanded with riverine input of nutrients
Also metadata and data collected for beach litter and seafloor litter via other approach 2

8. CDI entries updated for Eutrophication buffer in EMODnet Chemistry 3 project

9. CDI entries added for Contaminants buffer in EMODnet Chemistry 3 project

11. CDI entry activity
All data centres in the EMODnet Chemistry consortium have undertaken activities for extra population!
However not all data centres have enriched (a subset) of their existing CDIs with information about projects and data quality control (see guideline: CDI_EMODnetChemistry3.pdf
Example of CDI record: chemistry.maris2.nl/v_cdi_v3/print_ajax.asp?n_code=
Quality Info included by only: BODC, CNR-ISMAR, IHPT, and RBINS
EDMERP relations included by most data centres for subsets 11

14. Harvesting of CDI’s
Harvesting of Eutrophication and Contaminants regional data collections has taken place using the CDI Buffer system
For the defined MSFD regions
Arctic ocean - Barents sea - Norwegian sea – Greenland sea - Icelandic waters
Greater North Sea - Celtic Sea – Faroes
Baltic Sea
Iberian peninsula - Macronesia - Bay of Biscay
Mediterranean Sea
Black Sea - Sea of Marmara - Sea of Azov 14

16. Harvesting and processing
Eutrophication harvest: November – December 2017
Contaminants harvest: October 2018
Regional harmonised and validated Eutrophication data collections delivered by Regional Coordinators at: May 2018
Also described in Sextant and with DOIs
Regional harmonised and validated Contaminants data collections delivered by Regional Coordinators at: January 2019
Not yet described in Sextant and no DOIs yet 16
