Regulating the provisions of European marine data and observation

At present the majority of marine data collected by institutions are largely collected with specific purpose in mind – for instance to exploit marine resources, to ensure safe navigation, to monitor compliance with regulations or to test scientific theories. However, those processing or applying these data face a number of obstacles such as restriction to access, use and re-use of fragmented standards, formats and nomenclature. The paper is focused on the analysis of the European legal sources to establish and implement coordinated monitoring programmes for on-going assessments of the environmental status of marine waters. The authors are urging for sharing of marine data uniformly, efficiently and rapidly in a regulated procedure with the aim of reducing operational costs for marine data users.
