Element level assessments, MSFD Art.8 (2018)
The dashboard displays a table with the information reported by each Member State and assessed geographical area (Marine Reporting Unit-MRU), as requested under Article 8 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), on the status of the elements assessed within each feature (e.g., the species assessed within each species group, the habitats assessed within each habitat type, the different fish populations assessed, the contaminants and adverse effects assessed, etc.). By using the filters, the data can be displayed by marine region/subregion, Country, Descriptor and feature.
