During 8 years (before, during and after the storm-surge barrier) phytoplankton was measured at two stations in the Oosterschelde (inner harbour and the estuary, the Netherlands) by Kees Bakker.

Zoobenthos data from Polish Exclusive Economic Zone of the Baltic Sea collected in frame of the Polish Monitoring Programme. Data include information on species composition, abundance and biomass (wet and dry) of zoobenthos community for the period of 1979-2012.

The PIROP data were collected for Canadian seabird monitoring purposes, focussing on the Canadian Atlantic, but also on other areas relevant to Canadian birds such as waters off Peru, off West Africa and off Europe.

The "Réseau de Surveillance phytoplanctonique" REPHY is a french national phytoplankton monitoring programme set up by Ifremer in 1984 following an observation of numerous diarethic intoxications of shellfish consumers in 1983 and 1984 on the Breton coast of France.

The survey existed since 1968. It is carried out every 3 years in the north eastern Atlantic. The year after the Atlantic survey, a mackerel egg survey is conducted in the North Sea. The survey creates a basis for the stock assessment of Atlantic and North Sea mackerel and management plan for Atlantic horse mackerel. The historical MEGS data is expected to be uploaded in 2015-2016. The group responsible for the survey is WGMEGS.

This dataset represents a subset of data collected from offshore locations around England and Wales under the auspices of the National Marine Monitoring Programme (NMMP).

Phytoplankton data from Polish Exclusive Economic Zone of the Baltic Sea collected in frame of the Polish Monitoring Programme. Data include information on species composition, abundance and biomass (biovolume and C biomass) of phytoplankton community for the period of 2002-2012.

Phytobenthos data from Polish Exclusive Economic Zone of the Baltic Sea collected in frame of the Polish Monitoring Programme. Data include information on species composition, areal coverage and dry biomass of phytobenthos community for the period of 2002-2012. Additional data on substrate type are included in the data.

Densities and species composition of copepods on the Dutch Continental Shelf were determined.
