Specification of the desirable and recommended product attributes for generating time series of annual average sea level (units: mm) from tide gauges over periods of 50 years (1963-2012) and 100 years (1913-2012), to characterize and assess average annual sea-level rise relative to the land.

Specification of the desirable and recommended product attributes for sediment mass budget at the coast for the last 10, 50 and 100 years for the Mediterranean basin and for each NUTS3 region along the coast.

Specification of the desirable and recommended product attributes for generating time series of average annual sea-level rise for the last 50 and 100 yrs.

This product attempt to follow up on the sea level rise per stretch of coast of the North Atlantic, over 50 years as follows: • Characterization of absolute sea level trend at annual resolution, along the coasts of EU Member States (including Outermost Regions), Canada, Faroes, Greenland, Iceland, Mexico, Morocco, Norway and USA; The stretchs or coast are defined by the administrative regions of the Atlantic Coast: • from NUTS3** administrative division for EU countries (see Eurostat), and • from GADM*** administrative divisions for non-EU countries. ** Third level of Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics *** Global Administrative Areas For relative sea level trend for 50 years we extract the information from coastal tide gauges data available at each stretch of coast, if there is not a tide gauge there is a data gap. The product is Provided in tabular form and as a map layer.

The objective of this tender is to examine the current data collection, observation and data assembly programmes in the Meditterranean Sea, identify gaps and to evaluate how they can be optimised.

to deliver maps showing the extent of the trawling fishing grounds for identifying the changes in level of disturbance over the past ten years and identifying the gaps of fishing vessels’ tracking systems in the Mediterranean Sea

Med protection initiatives (management and conservation areas)

to deliver maps showing the extent of the trawling fishing grounds for identifying the areas which are most disturbed by bottom trawling over the past ten years and identifying the gaps of fishing vessels’ tracking systems in the Mediterranean Sea

Maps of Chlorophyll concentration seasonal climatologies (i.e., Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall) over the Mediterranean Sea relative to the period 1998-2009.
