EMODnet marine litter data management at pan-European scale
2019
Abstract
Marine
litteris a growing problem for environmental and human health and policies have included monitoring as an important tool to evaluate both trends and the efficiency of reduction measures. The
Marine Strategy Framework Directiveis the main driver in Europe for the monitoring of the
marineenvironment; it has included the evaluation of
marine
litterin order to support policies and achieve
good environmental status. This assessment depends on the availability of robust, homogeneous data-sets at the European scale. A
data management planfor
marine
litterhas been developed at European level within the existing EMODnet network to collect, homogenise and provide access to standardised data-sets and data products that may be used as a basis for
marine
litterassessment at pan-European scale. As a long term perspective, it also provides a scientific and technical basis for further global monitoring.
