Marine Reporting Units used in Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) 2018-2024 reporting cycle - version 2.0, Jun. 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 second public version released of the MRUs used during the MSFD 2018 reporting exercise on the update of Articles 8, 9 and 10. Only the MRUs of those countries that have gone through the reporting exercise by June 2020 have been included in this data set. Apart from the countries included already in version 1 of the dataset (SE, FI, EE, LV, PL, DE, DK, NL, BE, FR, ES, HR and RO), this version also includes seven more countries, namely MT, LT, IT, SI, CY, PT and IE.
The data set is distributed in SHP and in INSPIRE-compliant GML format, made available also through an INSPIRE compliant ATOM service.

The present MRUs data set is a compilation of the layers submitted by Member States (in SHP format) to the European Commission in the context of the 2018 MSFD reporting exercise (update of Articles 8, 9 and 10). 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. The current version only includes those countries that have gone through the reporting exercise by June 2020. A new version of the data set will be produced including the MRUs of the countries expected to report during the second half of 2020.
