| Field | Description | Validated Entry |
|---|---|---|
| [Table title] | Name of monitoring programme | Organotins concentrations and biological effects |
| [ProgrammeDescription] | Description of the monitoring programme | The organotins concentrations and biological effects concentrations monitoring is carried out within OSPAR's Coordinated Environmental Monitoring Programme (CEMP) (Agreement 2016-01). CEMP monitoring work on hazardous substances comprises monitoring and assessment of the sources and pathways of contaminants and their concentrations and effects in the marine environment. |
