A systematic study of zooplankton-based indices of marine ecological change and water quality: Application to the European marine strategy framework Directive (MSFD)

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Marine zooplankton are central components of holistic ecosystem assessments due to their intermediary role in the food chain, linking the base of the food chain with higher trophic levels.

An approach to assess exploited fish stocks compliant to the requirements of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) including criterion D3C3

Ecological Indicators, 2023
The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) complements European fish stock assessments under the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). CFP assessments separately assess fishing mortality (F) and spawning stock biomass (SSB).

Revisiting the Strategy for Marine Litter Monitoring within the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (Msfd) [PDF]

Ocean & Coastal Management, 2023
Marine litter and non-degradable plastic pollution is of global concern. Regular monitoring programs are being established to assess and understand the scale of this pollution. In Europe, the goal of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) is to assess trends in Good Environmental Status and support large-scale actions at the regional ...

Pump-underway ship intake: An unexploited opportunity for Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) microplastic monitoring needs on coastal and oceanic waters. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2020
Broad scale sampling methods for microplastic monitoring in the open ocean waters remain a challenge in oceanography. A large number of samples is required to understand the distribution, abundance and fate of microplastic particles in the environment.

A new approach to species distributional indicators for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD)

Ecological Indicators, 2016
Abstract We propose alternative fish-populations spatial indicators for use in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Following Commission Decision 2010/477, we have applied two different spatial indicators to three fish populations with “slow type” life-history traits, i.e. slow growing like Helicolenus dactylopterus , or large bodied like

EU marine strategy framework directive (MSFD) and marine spatial planning (MSP): Which is the more dominant and practicable contributor to maritime policy in the UK? [PDF]

Marine Policy, 2014
Abstract This paper is a comparative analysis of the contribution to UK marine governance of two recent EU initiatives: the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and Marine Spatial Planning (MSP). MSFD imposed a duty on Member States to achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) in four regional seas, while MSP required Member States to replace ...
