Beschrijving

In GEANS, the ARMS network will be used in the assessment of Good Environmental Status as part of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), mainly related to measures of benthic biodiversity (MSFD Descriptor 1), and measures of Non-Indigenous species (MSFD Descriptor 2). ARMS, as a standardized sampling technique, combined with today’s powerful molecular methods will enable the monitoring of marine communities over large areas, such as the North Sea, says Matthias Obst, the coordinator of the network. As a pilot study within the GEANS project, genetic protocols will be developed and harmonized, which will be applied in the assessment of ecological status and changes in hard bottom benthic communities of near coastal environments.
