The Quality Status Report (QSR) is a science based holistic evaluation of the quality status of the marine environment of the North-East Atlantic. It also assesses the progress OSPAR has made towards the objectives of its strategies on biodiversity and ecosystems, eutrophication, hazardous substances, offshore industries and radioactive substances.
The QSR is intended to direct future policies for the protection and conservation of the marine environment of the North-East Atlantic and will be launched at the OSPAR 2010 Ministerial Meeting. It will also provide a major component of the initial assessment that EU Member States are required to prepare under the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
The subject of this consultation is the QSR 2010 synthesis report which has been prepared for policy makers and the general public. It summarises 10 years of assessment work of the Contracting Parties to the OSPAR Convention under the OSPAR Joint Assessment and Monitoring Programme. The thematic assessments on which the QSR 2010 synthesis report is based are made accessible as reference documents.
