|---|---|---|
| [Table title] | Name of monitoring programme | PFOS in biota (primary matrix) sediment and seawater (secondary matrices) |
| [ProgrammeDescription] | Description of the monitoring programme | The PFOS in sediment, biota and seawater monitoring is carried out within OSPAR's Coordinated Environmental Monitoring Programme (CEMP) (Agreement 2016-01).
