8. sea basin checkpoints North Sea Mediterranean
how can observation infrastructure be optimised?
North Sea
Mediterranean

9. public consultation identified new needs
more involvement of private sector
mechanism to advise Member States and the EU on the most cost- effective sampling, surveying and observation programme for each sea-basin
convergence of EMODnet, data collection in fisheries and Copernicus marine service
novel sensors that can measure parameters automatically without the need to bring samples back to the laboratory
operational objectives for phase 3 of "marine knowledge 2020"
Horizon 2020

10. 2020 vision
"a seamless multi-resolution digital seabed map of European waters by 2020.
highest resolution possible,
covering topography, geology, habitats and ecosystems.
access to timely observations and information
on the present and past physical, chemical and biological state of the overlying water column,
associated data on human activities and their impact on the sea
oceanographic forecasts.
accessible, interoperable and free of restrictions on use.
process that progressively improves its fitness for purpose
and helps Member States maximise the potential of their marine observation, sampling and surveying programmes.

11. economic benefits of "marine knowledge 2020"
reduced costs for offshore activities (including reporting environment)
no need to repeat measurement that has been made by another agency
costs less to assemble data from different sources
stimulation of innovation
more providers can offer services
reduced uncertainty in knowledge of the behaviour of the sea
checked by Impact Assessment Board

Communication "innovation in the blue economy"
research, data, skills
roadmap for "marine knowledge 2020"
convergence between EMODnet, Copernicus and data collection in fisheries
more involvement of private sector
