Geo-spatial data for maritime environment management EU Directives:WFD and Marine Strategy FD Marine/maritime Spatial Planning Blue Growth potential Coastal Information System Decision Support System Ecosystem Based Approach Integrated Coastal Zone Management Early Warning & Crisis Management, etc. All these systems are need of DIGITAL MARINE/MARITIME DATA and INFORMATION, mostly GEO-SPATIAL DATA and SPATIAL EVALUATION TOOLS for assessment, impact and conflict analysis purposes for better maritime environment management
National SDI and Marine SDI Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) as a part of National SDI according to the INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC/ Physical entities /People and Institutions/ that provide for integrated management of spatial data, information, and services Technological components Policy: Defines need to create information that is interoperable Activities Relationships Processes Data/Information (Pashova & Bandrova, 2017; Fig.6)

Marine data sets organized in GIS environment PROJECT of BG Ports Infrastructure Company - https://misbs.bgports.bg Monitoring and Information system of the Black Sea (MISBS) financial support of Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 within the Green Industry Innovation Programme Bulgaria. MIS of Black Sea is realized by consortium STEMO ESRI in the form of web portal, supporting multiple specialized web GIS applications. One of the main objectives - the establishment of a spatial data infrastructure for monitoring the environment in the Black Sea and the coastal area for the Bulgarian institutions. Partners: Norwegian Coastal Administration Executive Agency Maritime Administration Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy Cluster Aerospace Technologies, Research and Applications Scientific Research Centre at Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski Institute of Oceanology - Bulgarian Academy of Sciences National Institute of Meteorology and Hidrology 11

Potential applications The geospatial sea state forecast together with the satellite information can support: the European Border and Coast Guard Agency FRONTEX (Malinowski, 2016) in their operations to prevent irregular migration at the external borders in the western part of the Black Sea. NATO naval exercises in the Black Sea for maritime rescue and search operations of Executive Agency Maritime Administration, Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre Other end-users 14
Some difficulties and main problems Different coordinate systems Data gaps or missing basic information for data sets Missing documentation Incompatible spatial data sets Varying standards to the sharing of spatial data, etc. http://www.bgodc.io-bas.bg/ma/defaulteng.aspx 15
Recommendations To increase the use of GIS tools for the management and integration of climatological, meteorological and other environmental data obtained from different sources To increase the availability of relevant, harmonized and high quality geographic data at EU and national level to support implementation, monitoring and evaluation of community policies Implementation of INSPIRE Directive (interoperability, integration, open-data) Steps toward open data policy (county policy, group policy) GIS oriented products (vector, shape) 16
Conclusions Beyond the Project MISBS regular reviewing of the warning system performance, receiving the user feedback, and identifying problems and actions needed for an improvement improvement the basic set of standard operating procedures between NIMH, end users, and communities at risk building institutional capacities for the application of warning information products in decision-making INTERAGENCY INTERACTION and COLABORATION is very important task to narrow gaps and to develop disaster risk management plans using a coordinated approach EC - ESA joint strategy to establish a European capacity to provide operational information for monitoring and management of the environmental and for civil security 17
