5 th EMB Frum The Ocean-Climate Nexus: The critical rle f cean science in respnding t climate change 21 Octber 2015, 16.00-18.00 Eurpean Parliament Hsted by Ricard Serrã Sants MEP In cllabratin with: www.marinebard.eu/5thfrum
The visin f the Jint Prgramming Initiative Healthy and Prductive Seas and Oceans (JPI Oceans) is t enable 'Blue Grwth', whilst fstering the health and prductivity f seas and ceans and addressing the pressures f climate change and human impacts n the ceans.

Onging Pilt Actins Testing new tls
Eclgical aspects f Micr-plastics Aim: Testing the harmnisatin f research methdlgies and prtcls in an emerging field (and cnducting a first jint call under the JPI Oceans framewrk). Backgrund: Mnitring micr plastics particles requires crss brder cperatin. A variety f methds fr quantificatin, which d nt allw quantitative cmparisns Activities: Initial Wrkshp, biblmetric analysis and fresight Internatinal Experts Wrkshp, January 2014. Review state f science, develp best practices in methdlgies and steps twards a risk assessment framewrk. Jint call launched in January 2015 with a budget f ver 7.0 millin: (BE, DE, FR, NL, NO, SE, IT) + in-kind cntributins (DK, ES, IE, UK). Validatin and harmnisatin f methds: interlabratry study Identificatin and quantificatin f micrplastics Ec-txiclgical effects f micrplastics Prjects will be funded frm 1 Dec 2015 fr 36 mnths.
Multi-use f infrastructure in the Nrth Sea Aim: Design f integrated mnitring prgrammes fr data cllectin fr CFP + MSFD t be cnducted in the cntext f fish stck surveys. Fcus n the extensin f the Internatinal Bttm Trawl Survey (IBTS) f ICES Testing the prcess f designing a crss-brder integrated mnitring strategy, efficiencies in data gathering cvering tw plicies, cmpetencies in different ministries. Backgrund: Cllabratin is needed t crdinate the Nrth Sea mnitring activities acrss different plicy areas (CFP, MSFD) as mnitring is extremely cstly. Activities: Additinal mnitring parameters tested n the ICES-IBTS cruises in 2014 by 7 cuntries resulted in sme simple verviews f the csts related t mre integrated mnitring as well as identifying sme issues related t rganising additinal mnitring. Reprting early 2015
Water Framewrk Directive inter-calibratin fr castal and transitinal waters Aim: Testing a mechanism fr jint funding f activity frm envirnmental authrities f nine member cuntries, (nt jint calls), resulting in harmnisatin and strengthening the scientific basis fr cperatin. Backgrund: Cmparable envirnmental assessments are f crucial imprtance fr plicy maker, envirnmental managers and industry t receive equal treatment n envirnmental sustainability Significant gaps still exist despite tw phases f intercalibratin fr castal and transitinal waters. Activities: Results being evaluated. Next steps will lk at prlnging the actin t include wrk n transitinal waters fr benths.
Eclgical aspects f deep-sea mining Aim: Jint use f research infrastructures and integrating natinal research t develp cmmn Eurpean and internatinal envirnmental standards. Backgrund Marine mineral resurces are the target f mining cmpanies. Little is knwn n the lng term impact f these activities Activities Prpsal 3-leg cruise t the Pacific regin t cmpare undisturbed and disturbed seaflr Supprt frm 11 MS: DE, BE, FR, IT, NL, NO, PO, PT, RO, SE and UK Shiptime: 90 days n new RV Snne. Ttal budget: 9,694,404, funding started n 1 January 2015. Kick-Off meeting 27-28 January at GEOMAR in Kiel (DE) First leg started n 11 March.
