MSFD indicators biodiversity

The implementation of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) is on full speed. The aim is to reach Good Environmental Status by 2020. In this project we will test and develop OSPAR common biodiversity indicators that can be used for biodiversity assessments on a regional scale. We will also contribute to the 2017 OSPAR intermediate assessment that will be used for the MSDF reporting of the EU Member Status to the EC.
