MSFD Guiding Improvements in the Black Sea
Integrated Monitoring System
STATE OF ENVIRONMENT
REPORT
From the Concept to the
Output
Laura Boicenco – NIMRD, Romania
Snejana Moncheva – IO-BAS, Bulgaria
“The MISIS (MSFD GUIDING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE BLACK SEA
INTEGRATED MONITORING SYSTEM) Project aims to contribute to
advances in the field of environmental protection by providing:
improved monitoring program (parameters, data collection in terms of
spatial and temporal dimension),
reporting – in line with WFD and MSFD requirements
In case that the beneficiary states agree to use the same methodologies and
schemes of monitoring, the regional picture of pressures-impacts and
associated Black Sea state will become much more adequate than at
present.
The improvement and harmonization of monitoring will provide for
comparable data sets on the state of the Black Sea (eutrophication,
pollution, biodiversity, habitats change, fishing resources, etc.) and also
better knowledge on loads stemming from different sources.
Tasks (DoW)
1. Testing the revised monitoring programs
2. Collecting additional data and producing homogenous data sets for the
Black Sea based on a single sampling procedure and laboratory
analysis of specified determinants and biological quality elements;
3. Organizing inter-comparison exercises to evaluate the performance of
laboratories involved. Evaluations from previous inter-comparisons will
be collected as a basis for comparison of performance (for instance,
during the last years BSC and the project FP6 SESAME organized a
number of such exercises).
4. Carrying out ecological assessment of the Black Sea, taking into
consideration the requirements in the WFD and the descriptors of the
MSFD;
5. Screening for new priority pollutants;
6. Providing general overview on the status of habitats

MSFD compliance CONCEPT
The assumption that the naturally existing
environmental gradients in the North-
Western Black Sea area provide the
opportunity to test the potential of
harmonized indicators for scaling ecological
state exploring the habitat template /biota
response interactions
Bulgaria
Romania
Turkey – the same approach
Sampling polygons
Five benthic habitats have been found in the study
area based on samples analysis:
• Moderately exposed lower infralittoral
sand with Chamelea gallina and Lucinella
divaricata,
• Upper circalittoral mud with Abra, Spisula,
Pitar, Cardiidae, Nephtys, etc,
• Mytilus galloprovincialis beds on mud and
sandy mud,
• Circalittoral shelly silt with Modiolula
phaseolina (include Terebellides, Amphiura,
Pachyceriantus and large tunicates (Ascidiella,
Ciona)).
• Lower circalittoral mud with Terebellides
stroemi
Benthic habitats
Mytilus galloprovincialis beds
Currently, in the Black Sea
there are two classification
systems of habitats in
different development
stages: NATURA 2000 and
EUNIS. NATURA 2000 is
the most used, but
following European
tendency to classify all
habitats after EUNIS, in
this study and EUNIS
system was applied to
align to EC requirements.

The result give ground to
conclude that by total
biomass and abundance
the data could be treated
as a common data set. If
taxonomically based
indicators will be applied
the data should be
considered with caution,
especially regarding
classess “other”.
The intercalibration exercise reveal differences in the taxonomic
skills of the participants that call for further training and more
frequent intercallibration campaigns.

ASSESSMENT
Although it is difficult to assess if the indicator is in GES or not based only one survey, the data collected during the cruise suggest that the indicator is in GES for the RO waters, while, for the BG waters, the indicator is in GES for SH and O pelagic habitats.
