Assessment of the ecological status of the sea as required by the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/ES)

The accurate assessment of marine environment state will greatly improve our abilities to predict the anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems. We developed the field observing system at sea with data transmissioin to MBS as well as the methodologies for ecological status assessment. In 2006-2008 a new observing system at sea and system for data transmission were established (near real-time data available at www.buoy.mbss.org). In parallel we developed and internationally calibrated new methodologies for assessment and monitoring of the ecological status as required by the EU WFD.
