The Marine Analyst: An aid to the monitoring and management of marine areas, including marine protected areas

Through the analysis of satellite data and modeling out-puts, the Environmental Marine Information System (EMIS) of the European Commission – Joint Research Centre aims at an effective and long-lasting marine and coastal stewardship by providing scientific and tech-nical value-added products to assist in monitoring and assessing water quality, biodiversity, ecosystem health status in Europe and globally. The EMIS spatial data infrastructure and web-GIS viewer (http://mcc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/emis/) allows discovery, naviga-tion and browsing through the data in different ways, according to spatial resolution, the variable to be ana-lysed, and the time period. Another set of applications has been developed to query the data and perform statis-tical analysis on the region of interest. Additional func-tions enable the users to download datasets in different formats (netCDF, GeoTIFF), to print maps and to download results directly on ready-to-use PDF files.
