Introduction: According to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD,
2008/56/EC), member states of the European Union (EU) had to develop a
common approach in environmental monitoring and assessment. Regarding
marine pollution assessments, large heterogeneities remain regarding sampling
protocols, analytical methods, and quality assurance (QA) and quality control
(QC) procedures. Further, data availability for Descriptor 8 (contaminants) was
very fragmented in the first cycle of the MSFD. As one of the major EU spatial data
infrastructures for providing access to marine data, EMODnet Chemistry has
endeavoured to overcome data fragmentation and increase data ‘FAIRness’
(findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable).
Methods: Aiming to improve the reliability of marine contaminant data for
assessment purposes under the MSFD, detailed QA/QC information was
collected using a questionnaire based on the requirements of the European
Environment Agency, International Cou.....
