| Abstract | The Coordinated Environmental Monitoring Programme (CEMP) is the part of OSPAR’s monitoring and assessment work where Contracting Parties seek to coordinate the operation of monitoring, data collection and assessment activities with the aim of facilitating the development of common and coherent assessments that address the questions identified in the JAMP. OSPAR has a long history in monitoring and assessment stretching back to the 1980s through the JAMP and the forerunner to this broader CEMP, and separate programmes for riverine inputs and direct discharges (RID), atmospheric inputs (CAMP) and radioactive substances. Starting with a focus on pollution from land-based sources and its effects, OSPAR’s needs for monitoring and assessment have expanded considerably to include a wide range of pressure and state indicators for marine ecosystems. The CEMP takes in all of OSPAR’s existing regular monitoring and assessment work in support of the North East Atlantic Environment Strategy and its thematic strategies, as well as new monitoring and assessment that is being developed for biodiversity.
