ROCCH Network Observation and Monitoring Locations

Since 2008, the Coastal Chemical Contamination Observation Network (ROCCH) has taken over from RNO (French National Observation Network for Quality in Marine Environments), which had existed since 1974. ROCCH aims to meet national, community and international obligations relating to monitoring chemicals in marine environments. It is therefore more of a control network than a heritage network as RNO once was. The backbone of ROCCH is to apply the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) and to meet the obligations set out in OSPAR Conventions and in Barcelona. As the WFD insisted on decentralization, ROCCH has gone from having just one project leader (the Ministry for the Environment) to having many decision-makers (water agencies, DIREN etc.). Chemical analyses are no longer conducted by IFREMER alone, but are attributed to other partners following calls for tender. ROCC also includes the monitoring of chemicals in shellfish production areas for the Food safety agency (DGAL) and the Ministry for Agriculture and Fisheries. Monitoring focuses on the three regulated metals: mercury, lead and cadmium in the given areas. Monitoring of these chemical contaminants is conducted in the three marine matrices: water, biota and sediment. Testing also includes imposex, the biological effect of tributyltin (TBT), as required by the OSPAR convention.

Date (Creation): 2012-01-01

Explanation: Non évalué

Pass: No

Statement: 1974: The Ministry for the Environment created RNO, French National Observation Network

1982: First measurements taken

2007: Implementation of the WFD; financing of RNO halted by the Ministry for the Environment.

Time series continuation necessitates a search for new funding.

2008: Creation of ROCCH, funded in part by DGAL credits and WFD and OSPAR credits.

Number of observation or measurement points: 130

All of ROCCH’s activity is coordinated by IFREMER. Data is archived in IFREMER’s Quadrige² database, the national reference for coastal water monitoring data. ROCCH also includes many local studies and RNO-type monitoring in Martinique.
