Q4b - Responsible organisations
  • IMARES
  • NL_MINEZ
  • Rijkswaterstaat
Q4c - Relationship to CA
Both the ministries of Infrastructure and the Environment (NL_MINIM) and Economic Affairs (NL_MINEZ) are responsible for the implementation of the MSFD in the Netherlands, NL_MINIM is the coordinating ministry. Most of the monitoring is being carried out by Rijkswaterstaat (ordered by MINIM) and IMARES (ordered by MINEZ).
Q2a - Public consultation dates
  • 2014-03-07 / 2014-04-17
Q2b - Public consultation description
Q3a - Regional cooperation
In May 2014 the report “OSPAR coordinates monitoring in the North-East Atlantic” has been published. This report describes how the OSPAR Contracting Parties jointly work on the process of the development, coordinated monitoring, data collection (JAMP) and assessment of common indicators (for the Intermediate Assessment 2017 and the next Quality Status Report in 2021). The content of the Netherlands MSFD-monitoring programme has been tuned with this coordinated document. The OSPAR report has been included as Annex 13 and is, therefore, an integral part of the MSFD monitoring programme. See OSPAR publication 622/2014 (Annex 13 of the NL Marine Strategy part II)

Q1e - Gaps and plans
Q3b - Transboundary impacts on features
For transboundary effects there are coordinated monitoring programmes in OSPAR (CEMP) for D5, D8 and D10 (http://www.ospar.org/content/content.asp?menu=00170301000116_000000_000000). For biodiversity (D1,2,4,6) and noise (D11) the work in OSPAR on common indicators in ICG-COBAM and ICG-NOISE is aimed to address this. For D3 and D9 there are European standards in place.
Q3c - Environmental changes
Ocean acidification is an extraordinary pressure, which in time can lead to damage to the calciferous skeletons of marine animals. The PH is included in the regular monitoring programmes, but a second indicator is needed in order to adequately monitor changes. OSPAR and ICES are jointly developing guidance on this second indicator, in order to come to a coordinated choice for joint monitoring. The results will be incorporated in the OSPAR QSR 2021. See also OSPAR publication 622/2014 - page 13 recommendation 5. Also other parameters that can be used to identify changes in climate change are being routinely measured: seawater temperature, wave height, sealevel rise, riverine discharges.
