Monitoring strategy description
The monitoring consists of the control of the food chain based on risk assessment and executed in the frame of the EU Foodstuffs Regulation. Data collection is coordinated and data is delivered to EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).

The Marine Institute (MI) monitors environmental contaminants in bivalve molluscs, wild fish and crustaceans (e.g. crabs, lobster), Map 27. Bivalves are collected annually, usually in autumn/winter from designated shellfish waters, while landed fish and crustaceans are sampled at Irish ports, usually during the summer period, and through other sampling activities, for example, MI’s Groundfish Surveys on-board the RV Celtic Explorer, (see Descriptor 1, 4). Descriptor 9 requires Member States to ensure fish and shellfish do not exceed regulatory limits. The contaminants monitored and reported in seafood for D9 are those for which maximum levels are set in European legislation, and include mercury, cadmium, lead, indicator polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs – dioxins), sum of PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).
The principal purpose of the MSFD monitoring programme is to review the progress that has been made towards achieving good environmental status prescribed for each criterion in the Marine Strategy Part I (2018). This review is based on established indicators. The monitoring can also be used to evaluate the environmental targets defined for each descriptor. The environmental targets are operational in nature and are linked to specific actions and/or measures in the Marine Strategy Part 3. The effects of individual measures cannot generally be linked directly to environmental status or the criteria. Monitoring data can, however, indirectly give an indication of the effectiveness of measures. The monitoring (methods, spatial and temporal coverage) aims to achieve sufficient statistical confidence in the assessment. The risk of not achieving GES or deterioration from GES is addressed in the Marine Strategy, Parts 1 and 3. The European Commission requests that the electronic reports explain how the DPSIR cycle is monitored and to which part of the cycle the monitoring surveys are linked. The MSFD monitoring programme helps to generate better insight into the relationships between the use of the sea and the marine ecosystem. This can be accomplished by monitoring pressures and the underlying activities (D1C1: incidental bycatch, D2: non-indigenous species, D3C1: fish mortality, D5: eutrophication, D6C1/D6C4: physical loss of seabed/habitats and D6C2: fisheries intensity and sand extraction, D8 and D9: pollutants, D10: litter, D11: underwater noise), and by monitoring species and habitats (D1: biodiversity (with the exception of D1C1), D3C2: spawning stock biomass, D4: food web, D6C3/D6C5: habitats ) and hydrographical characteristics (D7). The numerous relationships between the various elements of the marine ecosystem are complex, and many are still not known. Consequently, it is often only possible to give an indication of the impact of specific activities on the marine ecosystem. Experts generally derive DPSIR relationships from the monitoring of pressures/activities and of species and habitats (from the MSFD monitoring programme), in combination with data derived from permits and research programmes. However, some surveys have been established to measure pressures and their effects and/or to learn more about the effectiveness of measures. In designing the monitoring survey for benthic animals (habitats), the Netherlands explicitly took account of the need to

According to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 on the establishment of maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs, Sweden is required to monitor concentrations of such substances in foodstuffs from the sea which are likely to cause harm by consumption. Based on the Swedish Food Agency's risk assessment based on the concentrations of substances in the environment and human consumption habits, only dioxins and PCBs in fatty fish from the Baltic Sea pose a risk of impact on humans. These are thus included in the ongoing food control, but through the ongoing monitoring of hazardous substances in biota (fish and mussels) for D8, a basis is also provided for a monitoring of foodstuff for other substances and in other areas. The purpose of the monitoring is thus to produce a basis for assessment, consumption advice and control activities regarding hazardous substances in food from the sea, in relation to established threshold values for consumption. Monitoring of inputs and activities that cause the inputs of hazardous substances is included in the monitoring strategy for Hazardous Substances (D8) through the monitoring programs concerning the inputs of pollutants from land and atmosphere and oil spills.

D9 by definition is limited to assessing exceedance levels established by Community legislation or other relevant standards, in this case Commission Regulation 1881/2006, as amended. This assessment is limited to the assessment of compliance for a limited number of substances for which maximum limits for seafood have been set in this Regulation. Furthermore, maximum limits are set on the basis of the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle, which considers Europe-wide monitoring data when setting limits, to avoid unintended consequences from setting unrealistic limits. While there is a good overall database, there are limited data for some species. Ongoing monitoring by the Marine Institute attempts to address these gaps by targeting species for which there is limited data available. Additional marine food matrices e.g. seaweeds, are not covered at present by the regulations. The Marine Institute works closely with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland and Sea Fisheries Protection Authority in implementing monitoring, and the current contaminants monitoring is under review. While D9 assesses compliance with MLs, other substances for which MLs are not established are also monitored in seafood. This includes other trace elements, perfluorinated substances, polybrominated diphenyl ethers and certain organochlorine pesticides. These data supports evaluation of risks for consumers and also contributes data to assist in setting future limits.
There are no monitoring gaps for D9.

"Based on the Swedish Food Agency's survey of hazardous substances in fish and other marine foods from the North Sea, which shows concentrations below current thresholds, the agency has made a risk assessment and assessed that regular monitoring under the food legislation of hazardous substances in fish and other marine foods from the North Sea is not necessary. Oily fish from the Baltic Sea, on the other hand, are regularly monitored with regard to the risk assessment. Sweden therefore consider that the current control program meet the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006. To support the Swedish Food Agency's risk assessment, data from the ongoing monitoring of hazardous substances in biota (D8) throughout Sweden's sea area is also used. Concentrations of hazardous substances are not always measured in the same animal species or organ tissues for which the thresholds are set, but by conversion factors the concentrations can be converted to levels of hazardous substances according to descriptor 9 (measured in fish muscle in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006).

Programme description
The programming of control in the food chain is based on a scientifically responsible risk assessment that is translated into concrete inspection and updated annually sampling plans. The risk analysis takes into account the identification of the hazard and the level of adverse effect, the group of products that may be contaminated and the importance of this population and their contribution to the entire food chain contamination (Maudoux et al., 2006). The relevant samples were taken in three Belgian fish mines (Nieuwpoort, Ostend, Zeebrugge) and concern fresh, unprocessed samples that are analysed for the presence of harmful substances. This programme contributes to environmental targets D9.1 and D9.2. (Former programme ANSBE_D9-Cont-seafood-SP25)

The Marine Institute (MI) monitors environmental contaminants in bivalves molluscs, wild fish and crustaceans (e.g. crabs, lobster). Bivalves are collected annually, usually in autumn/winter from designated shellfish waters, while landed fish and crustaceans are sampled at Irish ports, usually during the summer period, and through other sampling activities, for example MI’s Groundfish Surveys on-board the RV Celtic Explorer, (see Descriptor 1, 4). Descriptor 9 requires Member States to ensure fish and shellfish do not exceed regulatory limits. The contaminants monitored and reported in seafood for D9 are those for which maximum levels are set in European legislation and include mercury, cadmium, lead, indicator polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs – dioxins), sum of PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The levels of contaminants monitored are compared with maximum limits listed in EU Regulation 1881/2006 (as amended). The level of non-compliance with the limits set is extremely low and Ireland has achieved GES for concentrations of contaminants2 in fish and seafood for human consumption within its maritime area. The data collected is held in the national contaminants database at the Marine Institute and is reported to ICES.
Monitoring is necessary to establish whether the concentrations of contaminants in fish and other seafood comply with the agreed national and international standards. These standards are laid down in EU Regulation 1881/2006 for dioxins, PCBs, PAHs and metals. Monitoring must also show whether concentrations are increasing or declining. For measurements in fish and other organisms for human consumption, including crabs, shrimps and shellfish, random samples are taken from different landed species originating from various geographical locations. The monitoring is carried out for the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality. The sampling occurs once a year. Catches from surveys on board research vessels are also used. Fish from both the Dutch section of the North Sea and elsewhere are used. An important criterion is that the collection is representative of the pattern of human consumption. The Netherlands has two programmes to monitor contaminants in fish and seafood for human consumption. Both are carried out by Wageningen Food Safety Research (WFSR): 1. Monitoring Dutch seafood: Since 2006, concentrations of contaminants have been measured in approximately twenty seafood products. The contaminants are: organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs, non-dioxin-like PCBs, cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic, PAH, PBDEs and PFAS. 2. Cod liver and hake liver programme: Since 1977, every year samples of cod have been taken at three locations, and of hake at a fourth location, for the cod liver and hake liver programme. The contaminants that are measured in the livers are PCBs, OCPs, PFAS, tributyltin and toxaphene. The purpose of this programme is to identify trends in the level of bioaccumulating compounds in fish, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The analyses are carried out according to validated and ISO17025-accredited monitoring methods (for heavy metals, dioxins and PCBs) and validated monitoring methods (for other contaminants). The fitness for purpose of the monitoring methods is tested several times a year. WFSR is the national reference laboratory for dioxins, PCBs and metals in food. The monitoring has remained largely unchanged since 2014. PFASs, PBDEs and OCP are now also analysed, but no standards have been established for these compounds yet. Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) have recently attracted the attention of various European organisations, including the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the European Com

Examples of animals that ingest hazardous substances are mussels, fish and seabirds. By measuring concentrations of hazardous substances in samples from these animals, the contaminant load in a sea basin can be reflected. The purpose of the national monitoring is to monitor how the levels of a number of hazardous substances vary over time at selected stations and between stations in reference areas (areas unaffected by local sources) in order to monitor the effects of bans and restrictions on emissions and to generate representative reference values for regional and local hazardous substances studies. Parts of the material collected are saved in the Swedish Museum of Natural History's environmental specimen bank for future retrospective analyzes of currently both known and unknown substances. When analyzing mussels, perch and eelpout, which are stationary species, the hazardous substances load is reflected in a smaller, delimited area, while the analyzes of cod and herring, which move over larger areas, better reflect the general load in a larger area. With the national monitoring, we aim to monitor large-scale changes and diffuse impacts, for example via long-distance transport, and consequently the sampling stations are located so that they are as far as possible unaffected by local emissions. This makes the results suitable for use as reference sites for the local monitoring. The local monitoring is carried out in more affected areas adjacent to cities, ports, industries, sewage treatment plants or estuaries. The monitoring started in 1968 in the Baltic Sea and in 1979 in the North Sea. An extra collection of mussels also takes place approximately every five years in a reference network along large parts of Sweden's coast that enables analysis of oil-related substances before and after a discharge.
The purpose of the monitoring is to check before harvest in aquacultures that the mussels and oysters are safe to eat with regard to algal toxins and pathogens. At present, algal toxins and the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) are measured. E. coli acts as an indicator of possible contamination of pathogens. E. coli is normally found in the faeces of humans but also in other warm-blooded animals, but should not normally be found in the sea. High levels of E. coli in mussels are thus a sign that the water is polluted, and then there is a risk that there may also be other bacteria or viruses in the mussels that can be harmful to humans. If the levels rise above the limit values, the current production area in the sea will be closed and harvesting may not take place until the mussels in the area no longer contain levels that exceed the current limit values. The control programme complies with EU regulations and control must be carried out in a similar way in all Member States.
Organic pollutants in the marine environment can be absorbed into organisms and stored in adipose tissue. There is therefore a risk that hazardous substances are accumulated in fish, especially in oily fish. Dioxin and PCBs are mainly found in oily fish such as herring, wild salmon and trout from the Baltic Sea. To monitor levels of hazardous substances, fish intended for human consumption are sampled annually in a national control programme. The purpose of the monitoring is to obtain a basis for assessing the levels of dioxins and PCBs in different fish species from different areas of the Baltic Sea in relation to the applicable limit values regulated by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 laying down maximum levels for certain contaminants in food. Furthermore, the control programme aims to provide a basis for the National Food Agancy's Consumer recommendations. In addition to food control, monitoring of hazardous substances in biota is also carried out, which includes more species and substances and also covers the North Sea. These data complement the food control and provide a basis for the risk assessment that underlies the design of the food control.

Monitoring details
The samples, relevant in the frame of MSFD, originate from the ICES sub-areas: Southern North Sea (27.4c), Eastern Channel (27.7d) and Western Channel (27.7e), all located within FAO fishing zone 27, North-East Atlantic. The main purpose of the control plan of the FASFC is guaranty food safety by performing official control in order to check compliance with legislation.
• and annually for mussel pollution. 24
The sampling frequency will depend on the type of indicator to be analysed: • annually or every two years for fish contamination
Bivalve molluscs: Bivalve mollusc sampling is undertaken in transitional and coastal waters in designated shellfish growing waters annually. Ireland currently has 64 designated shellfish growing waters. Field sampling is carried out by the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority and the Marine Institute. Concentrations of certain substances are measured in bivalve molluscs as an indicator of water quality and for the purpose of human health assessments. The data collected are used to assess compliance with human health maximum limits as established in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006/(EC) as amended, and in accordance with EU food law (Regulation (EU) 2017/625). These limits are set in accordance with Regulations 854/2004/ (EC). Wild fish and crustaceans: This surveillance monitoring programme aims to check compliance of landed wild fish and other seafood with food safety limits and to compile a database of contaminant levels in edible seafood. Contaminant levels in relevant tissues are checked to determine if they are in compliance with regulation 1881/2006/(EC) as amended, and general European food law (Regulation (EU) 2017/625). Fishing ports around the Irish coast are visited to provide a geographical spread of fishing areas and a selection of species landed at these ports is collected. Fishing areas are recorded where available. In total approximately 30-40 fish samples (a sample is usually a pool of 10 individuals) representing the main species landed (usually depends on availability on day of landings) are collected for analysis. Occasionally, additional samples are acquired for example on MI groundfish surveys e.g. for crustaceans, other fish species to supplement fish collected at ports. New EC regulations on monitoring contaminants in food are anticipated.

Salvamento Marítimo (SASEMAR, Dirección General de la Marina Mercante) registra información de las incidencias relativas a posibles episodios de contaminación en el mar, a través de su programa de vigilancia aérea y satelital y su sistema de información de emergencias, que alimenta la base de datos de la Agencia Europea de Seguridad Marítima (EMSA). Desde 2019, SASEMAR también alimenta el informe anual de Vigilancia Aérea que publica el Acuerdo de Bonn, suministrando las contaminaciones registradas en la Zona del Golfo de Vizcaya incluida en el acuerdo. En el marco de este programa de seguimiento se llevará a cabo un análisis de la información facilitada por Salvamento Marítimo, que previsiblemente incluirá la fecha y coordenadas geográficas del punto del accidente, el origen del vertido, así como su extensión y volumen. De la base de datos de los posibles incidentes de contaminación en el medio marino, se seleccionarán aquellos episodios que hayan dado lugar a manchas contaminantes con una superficie mayor de 1 km2 y con origen conocido. Esto permitirá descartar su acumulación o reiteración en determinadas zonas. En caso de que durante la vigencia de este programa de seguimiento se alcanzara algún consenso a nivel regional o europeo sobre la definición de evento significativo de contaminación aguda, este programa se adaptaría y se comenzarían a aplicar los términos acordados. Para los casos en que se produzca un episodio de contaminación aguda, el MITERD tiene previsto publicar una Guía de actuación ante fauna petroleada, en coordinación con las CCAA, en la cual se basará el seguimiento de los efectos adversos de estos episodios sobre especies marinas.
El muestreo y análisis de los contenidos máximos permitidos se efectuará según los Reglamentos (CE) 1881/2006 y 333/2007.

Sampling in ports and on fisheries survey for fish, crustaceans etc. Laboratory analysis in accordance with EC food legislation (EC Directive 333/2007) Sampling from designated shellfish growing waters.
For the WOT programme, each year 15-20 samples of North Sea fish and shellfish are taken and analysed on a wide range of contaminants. Every fish-sample is a mixed sample consisting of the edible parts of 25 individual fishes. http://edepot.wur.nl/274433

The sampling of mussels and oysters for analysis of bacteria takes place at fixed stations in a production area. Other sampling is randomized. Sampling is performed by samplers and takes place according to the National Food Administration's special instructions. The instructions contain, among other things, information on how many mussels must be collected and at what water depth the collection is to take place. Sampling takes place at three water depths for cultivated mussels because the levels of bacteria and toxins can differ at different depths. In the case of wild mussels, the sampling is spread around the sampling point. The control does not take place in the same way for all species but is adapted to differences between the species. For example, some species absorb more algal toxins than others. Personnel who want to harvest mussels or oysters in a production area contact the National Food Administration and announce that they wish to have sampling carried out in the specific production area. The personnel carry out the largest proportion of the sampling themselves, but sample handling and handling of analysis results are done by the National Food Administration. Sampling must last for at least two weeks with an approved result before the area can be opened and harvested. Sampling continues as long as the harvest takes place. Sampling of phytoplankton for quantitative analysis is done with a hose from the surface down to a depth of 10 meters or shallower if the depth is less than 12 m. In addition, sampling is done with a net (10 µm mesh size) for the same depth range. Secchi depth is also measured in the surface water during sampling. Analysis of levels of toxins in mussels and oysters is done using chemical methods. Bacteria are analyzed by culture. Algae samples are analyzed using an inverted microscope according to the Utermöhl method 1958 (modified and accredited) and with the so-called Calcofluor method (Andersen 2010).

Laboratory Analysis ISO17025 - official lab (NRL metals in fish); LPTs: QUASIMEME contaminants in Biota; FAPAS
Aanalysis are carried out according to validated and ISO17025 accredited methods (heavy metals, dioxins and PCBs) and validated measurement methods (other contaminants). Measurement methods are tested several times a year for their suitability for the purpose. Wageningen Food Safety Research (WFSR) is the national reference laboratory for dioxins, PCBs and metals in food.

Quality checks are carried out continuously and extra checks are made when changing equipment or standard solutions, etc. The analysis quality at the analysis laboratory is monitored by analyzing control samples and entering the results in control charts. The control samples consist of a sample from a very large homogenate (which is therefore sufficient for a long time) of comparable tissue that is always included in the analysis of new material. When changing the analysis method or laboratory, extensive parallel analyzes take place. Suspected analysis errors have been the subject of special analysis efforts. The chemical analyzes are performed by Swedac-accredited laboratories and authorities with long experience of analysis of biological material. The quality assurance routines look different at different laboratories. Quality assurance is also provided through participation in the international test comparison Quasimeme. For details, we refer to the instructions of each laboratory.
According to Commission Decision 98/536 / EC, each EU country has a National Reference Laboratory (NRL) for the control of marine algal toxins and one for viral and bacterial contamination of bivalve molluscs, and the National Food Administration is the NRL for both areas of responsibility. Important tasks for the NRL are to support the laboratories that participate in public control, with expertise in new analysis technology and sampling, and to contribute to the laboratories using approved analysis methods and that these are performed with sufficient accuracy. All analyzes of E. coli and algal toxins in mussels and oysters as well as poison-producing phytoplankton in seawater are performed by laboratories contracted by the National Food Administration. One of the requirements for being contracted is that the laboratories are Swedac-accredited in accordance with ISO 17025.
