What about starting the week by reading our first 2 deliverables published online: https://msp4bio.eu/publications/
• D2.1: Overview of the available biodiversity datasets & platforms relevant for planning
This deliverable presents an analysis of the availability of datasets, data platforms, tools, and models required by MSP4BIO. Data were compiled and the availability for each test site and data requirement (desideratum) was analyzed. Data availability varied considerably between test sites and desiderata. The analysis found several data gaps, which serve as guidance for data collection by other work packages. In total, 339 datasets, data platforms, tools and models were compiled from a wide variety of sources.

• D2.3: State-of-the-art overview of the current protection & restoration measures in place
A state-of-the-art overview of the main categories of conservation measures currently applied to protect marine ecosystems and species, considering international, European and national level measures is provided, including examples of Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs). Some cases of marine restoration measures are also illustrated. The overview considers the test-site countries across all the European sea basins. Some representative cases of MPAs and OECMs are detailed based on desktop review and outcomes from interviews. Interviews have supported the identification of trade-offs between marine conservation and human uses, of challenges encountered in designation and management and of opportunities for transfer of the experience in other contexts.
