Marine Reporting Units used in Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) 2012-2018 reporting cycle - version 1.0, Feb. 2020

The Marine Reporting Units (MRUs) are used within the reporting obligations of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) in order to link the implementation of the different articles to specific marine areas. The MRUs can be of varying sizes, according to the appropriate scale for the different reports (e.g. region, sub-region, regional or sub-regional subdivision, Member State marine waters, WFD coastal waters, etc.), as indicated in the Good Environmental Status 2017 Decision.

The present data set is the first public version released of the MRUs used during the first cycle of implementation of the MSFD (2012-2018) in all the reporting exercises (2012 reporting of Articles 8, 9 and 10; 2014 reporting of Article 11; and 2016 reporting of Articles 13 & 14). The data set is distributed in SHP and in INSPIRE-compliant GML format.

      Statement

      The present MRUs data set is a compilation of the layers submitted by Member States (in SHP format) to the European Commission during the reporting exercises of the first cycle of implementation of the MSFD. The reporting exercises were due by 15/10/2012 (Articles 8, 9 and 10), by 15/10/2014 (Article 11) and by 31/03/2016 (Articles 13 & 14). The pan-European data set has been created in GML following the INSPIRE 'Area management / restriction / regulation zones and reporting units' theme data specifications (available at https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/id/document/tg/am). For the development of the GML, a number of fields have been included and filled in with the criteria described in the document 'Development of a pan-European data set of Marine Reporting Units' (file "Documentation_MRUs_v1-1.pdf" provided with the data set). The data set has also been published as an INSPIRE-compliant ATOM web service. A shapefile format version has also been produced.
