1. Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey WP1: Data collection and metadata compilation in sea regions: current status EMODnet Chemistry Partner contribution: Institute of Marine Biology Kotor

2. Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey General overview of the partner contribution: Current status SeawaterSedimentBiota Number of CDIs at beginning: 13 Number of CDIs at year 1: Data processing in progress (46) Number of CDIs at year 2: Data processing in progress (21+) Data processing in progress (11) Spatial distribution:

3. Annual Meeting, June 15-16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey Total number of stations per parameter group per matrix: GroupSeawaterSedimentBiota Fertilizers (NO2,NO3,NH4,PO4,TP,TN) 16 Silicates 16 Organic matter Chlorophyll 16 Partial pressure dissolved gases (O 2 ) 16 Acidity (pH) 16 Pesticides and biocides Antifoulants Pharmaceuticals Heavy metals (Cd, Hg, Pb +) 11 Hydrocarbons Radionuclides Plastics Current status (2013, 2014), station is position (not 1 station for every unique position and time), so the number of station (combination Cruise ID- Sampling ID) in water matrix should be much more
