Guidance for reviewing CEMP Appendices

The Coordinated Environmental Monitoring Programme (CEMP) Appendices are reviewed and if necessary revised, on an annual basis to ensure they are kept up to date.

The spreadsheet linked below is designed to provide Guidance to Contracting Parties carrying out the annual review and revision. The 'Validated Entry' column within each appendix should be reviewed against information in the Guidance column below and where referenced, populated using fields in the Enumeration Tables.  

(For information on the alignment process that OSPAR undertook to align with the EC MSFD Art.11 monitoring programmes reporting tables, please see Background.
