IENWG 8 - Plenary Session, Brussels, Belgium (27 February 2018) The plenary IENWG-8 meeting mainly discussed the following topics: Future work and structure of the IENWG Marine Spatial Planning EU Projects Broader use of S 102 Standard (not limited to safety of navigation) Data and Historical Documents rescue
EC-IHO 9 - Brussels, Belgium (28 February 2018) The EC-IHO 9 meeting was held at the CPMR Offices under the headline Protecting our coasts: how to anticipate and monitor coastal risks . CPMR, several DGs and EU representatives were present. Important topics were : Visibility of hydrography Future perspectives of cooperation Participation of IHO representatives in EuroGOOS General Assembly and the forthcoming EOOS Conference (Nov 2018)
Cooperation and collaboration relationship between UE marine services, data aggregators, and the overall flow of marine data collection
Coastal Mapping project 19 partners, 15 countries, 11 HOs Assess the current availability of digital coastal mapping in the EU Disseminate this information through EMODnet Share experience of coastal mapping in the EU Develop recommendations from best practices Recommendations for increasing bathymetric data supporting integrated maritime policy, including coordination of EU-funded projects collecting bathymetric data http://coastal-mapping.eu/
European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODNet) Long term marine data initiative by the DG MARE underpinning the EU Marine Knowledge 2020 strategy Seven operational sub-portals providing access to marine data in: geology, physics, chemistry, biology, seabed habitats and human activities High resolution seabed mapping Satellite Derived Bathymetry data will be included to cover gaps in survey coverage http://www.emodnet.eu/
EMODnet principle of ingestion data flow The EMODnet Ingestion services will serve all EMODnet thematic portals for streamlining incoming data sets Data Ingestion Portal External Data Providers Data Centres EU Data Infrastructure s EMODnet portals For more info, visit www.emodnet-ingestion.eu
Work Programme future development To follow up on the COASTAL MAPPING project To increase involvement of European HOs in the future phase of EMODNet To develop cooperation with the European Commission, by promoting the role of the hydrographic offices and IHO in marine data policy (Inspire, Maritime Spatial Planning, data rescue, contribution to European Ocean Observing System ) To monitor European directives, calls for proposals potentially impacting HOs or IHO and to propose actions to be conducted in accordance
