HAB

Progressing through two projects : two proposals are under way one InterREG called Horizon and an FP7 downstream that will be led by an Irish SME.

Rosa mentioned the UK AlgaeRisk project and we suggested that this work is presented at next IBI meeting.

Observing system

It seems that this work is not progressing while there is easy action to move on in particular on providing the 2 year plans at national level. Glenn accepted to start the work of the Obs System we wish for IBi-ROOS with a map that will be complemented by the IBI members by email and will serve as a discussion document at the annual meeting. This could be one element to provide Hans for the GMES in-situ obs EU working group.

River Discharge:

The goal is first to finish the inventory complementing it but the availability to IBI members. Julien Mader/AZTI has to finish this work ( SP to contact by email)

Then at next meeting , depending of this river data availability, we will have to decide whether or not we need to work on hydrological model for the area

OSPAR:

Not progressing because we don’t really know what they want. We should discuss with Dave Miles to see what we could make the link with OSPAR…
