The Water Framework Directive (WFD) is a pioneering piece of legislation that aims to protect and enhance aquatic ecosystems promote sustainable water use across Europe. There growing concern the objective good status, or higher, in all EU waters by 2027 long way from being achieved many countries. Through questionnaire analysis almost 100 experts, we provide recommendations WFD monitoring assessment systems, improve programmes measures further integrate with other sectoral policies. Our...
The marine environment is a complex system formed by interactions between ecological structure and functioning, physico-chemical processes socio-economic systems. An increase in competing uses users requires holistic approach to management which considers the environmental, economic societal impacts of all activities. If managed sustainably, will deliver range ecosystem services lead benefits for society. In order understand complexity system, DPSIR (Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response)...
Traditional and emerging human activities are increasingly putting pressures on marine ecosystems impacting their ability to sustain ecological communities. To evaluate the health status of we need a science-based, integrated Ecosystem Approach, that incorporates knowledge ecosystem function services provided can be used track how management decisions change ecosystems. Although many methods have been developed assess single components ecosystem, few exist for assessing multiple in holistic...
This viewpoint paper explores the potential of genomics technology to provide accurate, rapid, and cost efficient observations marine environment. The use such approaches in next generation monitoring programs will help achieve goals legislation implemented world-wide. Genomic methods can yield faster results from monitoring, easier more reliable taxonomic identification, as well quicker better assessment environmental status waters. A summary genomic that are ready or show high for...
Characterization of biodiversity has been extensively used to confidently monitor and assess environmental status. Yet, visual morphology, traditionally widely for species identification in coastal marine ecosystem communities, is tedious entails limitations. Metabarcoding coupled with high-throughput sequencing represents an alternative rapidly, accurately cost-effectively analyze thousands samples simultaneously, this method increasingly characterize the metazoan taxonomic composition a...
