DEVELOPMENT OF DATASETS FOR MONITORING

In order to implement MSP and ICZM in the Adriatic-Ionian Region, it is necessary to set up a complete set of data and information by fostering cross-border cooperation with respect to data acquisition and management. Indicative actions that can be foreseen are: the collection of data and big data, including cross border maritime data in all key actors in order to achieve evidence-based policy making; development of tools to assess and monitor vulnerability and ecosystem, such as for example the setting-up cross-border monitoring systems and shared platforms and pilot studies; the use of digital solutions to evaluate ecosystem services especially in the sea basins.
