Dutch long term monitoring of macrobenthos in the Dutch Continental Economical Zone of the North Sea Citation Ministery of Infrastructure and Environment, The Netherlands; (2018): Dutch long term monitoring of macrobenthos in the Dutch Continental Economical Zone of the North Sea. https://marineinfo.org/id/dataset/5759 Contact: Stolte, Willem Availability:  To the extent possible under law, the person who associated CC0 with this dataset has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to this dataset.Description Long term measurements of benthos composition in the Dutch national part of the North Sea. Samples have been taken by benthic sledge, box-corer, video and Hamon sampler. Samples were taken annually between 1991-2010, in 2012 and in 2015 and analysed to the genus or species level. For video sampling, coverage percentages were measured. The dataset has been used for assessment of the marine environment and habitat quality in the scope of the OSPAR Quality Status Reports and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. more The monitoring is directed and the dataset is maintained by Rijkswaterstaat, the executing body of the Dutch Ministery for Infrastructure and Environment. Publication of the dataset has been facilitated by Deltares, The Netherlands.
