There are several policies that are interlinked with the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (Directive 2008/56/EC), either mentioned in the main text of the Directive, or in the Commission Decision (EU) 2017/848. In the present dashboards, assessments on the ecological and chemical status under the Water Framework Directive (WFD), as well as the conservation status of marine species and habitats under the Nature directives, are presented in a dynamic format, to allow the users to explore, use and download the data and figures in different ways.
This section provides access to data and tools related to the implementation of other directives for the protection of the marine environment. It also includes external portals and data infrastructures developed at the European level, enhancing understanding of the state of Europe's seas.
WISE Marine liaises with many partners in Europe that work with marine data collection and publication, such as Copernicus Marine Service, EMODnet, or the Regional Sea Conventions' data centers. This section links to their websites, as well as to other initiatives that make available pan-European marine data, data products or tools.
