Description
The reference list of species for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Descriptor 1 was reviewed by JRC with the collaboration of the MSFD Expert Network on Marine Biodiversity, composed of marine biodiversity experts nominated by the EU Member States. The review includes updates derived from the 2018 and 2020 Member States reports for species, following the recommendations listed in the COM DEC 2017/848/EU. The species list aims at facilitating Member States data entry, as part of the MSFD reporting obligations while increasing consistency and harmonization across Member States.

Abstract
The Commission Decision COM DEC 2017/848/EU requires the establishment of a list of species which are to be assessed under each criterion for Descriptor 1 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). To this end, JRC had previously developed a reference list of species for the MSFD Descriptor 1. This reference list of species has now been reviewed by JRC with the collaboration of the MSFD Expert Network on Marine Biodiversity, composed of marine biodiversity experts nominated by the EU Member States. The review includes updates derived from the 2018 and 2020 Member States reports for species, following the recommendations listed in the COM DEC 2017/848/EU. The species list aims at facilitating Member States data entry, as part of the MSFD reporting obligations while increasing consistency and harmonization across Member States.
