Target description |
Promote knowledge of marine habitats and biocenesis, in particular those existing in the coastal bands, in order to obtain quantitative and qualitative information enabling an initial state and areas of occurrence (mapped) to be defined. Establishing monitoring programmes to maintain and/or restore coastal habitats
|
To study, re-engineer and manage monitoring networks to collect information supporting the characterisation of the marine environment, with the emphasis on situations where there is a need to maintain or reach Good Environmental Status and to those that may reveal the causal relationships between monitoring results and human activities
|
Map and monitor the meteorology system at the scale of the subdivision (comprising, including, waves and surface streams induced by local winds, sea-open and deep-sea currents) in order to improve the assessment of the environmental conditions and energy potential of the various environmental descriptors, and to assist decision-making processes
|
To study and understand the migratory routes of species of wide geographic distribution to highlight the relevance and ecological importance of the archipelagic seas and seamounts in the continuous eco-ecosystem, and their ocean and global dimension
|
Promote and systematise knowledge of the trophic networks of both coastal habitats and deep-sea ecosystems, including the study of key organisms, as well as the effect of seasonal variations, with a view to developing new indicators for the future assessment of the status of trophic grids and thus adequately define the Good Environmental Status of those networks.
|
Establish an international group in Macaronesia involving scientists, technicians and policy-makers to coordinate monitoring programmes.
|
Production of two documents: 1- defining the state of the art in the implementation of this descriptor in Macaronesia
|
Develop and implement appropriate methodology to obtain information to enable the GES to be assessed by 2024.

Target assessment description |
Project MarSP- A tender procedure for carrying out the work of the sea.
Technical Implementation Project OM-75 %.
|
Project MARCET- Technical Implementation 30 %. Specific equipment for placing telemetry equipment on cetaceans (satellite transmitters) is being purchased, to be established in Madeira capacity to carry out this work through the training of local researchers of the Madeira Whale Museum (MBM) (?capacty building and training?), and to finance the acquisition, placement and follow-up of 6 satellite transmitters in a pilot scheme
