Monitoring details
Data collected are useful to MSFD monitoring for assessing the state of seabed habitats and future trends under natural and climatic variability; usable in establishing/updating the environmental targets.
Data collected are useful in the MSFD monitoring to assess the distribution and extent of the seabed habitats and, also, for improving GES and targets definitions.
