1. Scope of this Milestone
The purpose of this report is to provide the support for documentation of the DEVOTES panels available
on the web as of 26th November 2014 (M25). This was reported in the Description of Work (Milestone
30 -‐ MS30) as part of dissemination activities undertaken in the context of the Specific objective 7.2
“Provide effective and efficient dissemination to end-‐users, managers and society” of WP7.
The aim of this Milestone is to provide the general public, scientists and stakeholders with informative
panels on marine biodiversity and on the importance of the marine monitoring activities. The panels can
also be used by partners to promote the DEVOTES innovative tools through exhibition and educational
events.
2. Panels
To achieve the specific objective of creating an exhibition on the importance of advanced marine
monitoring, the following main topics have been selected:
-‐ Marine Biodiversity,
-‐ Marine Strategy Framework Directive
-‐ Impacts and Pressures on Marine Ecosystems
-‐ Innovative Marine Monitoring Techniques
The panels can be downloaded from the project website (http://www.devotes-‐project.eu/panels-‐
advanced-‐marine-‐monitoring), printed and used to prepare an exhibition on marine monitoring
activities. The panels have been designed so that they can also be used individually or independently of
each other.
All the information presented in the panels was collected from scientific publications and from
outcomes of the DEVOTES project (papers, deliverables or milestones).
A Power Point version of each panel will be made available for DEVOTES members in the Partners’ Area
of the website (http://www.devotes-‐project.eu/panels-‐on-‐marine-‐monitoring-‐restricted) . This will
allow each institution to translate the text and use them to during regional and national events.

2.2. Next steps
The work on this milestone is currently on-‐going and will probably continue until the end of the project.
In fact, the further outcomes from WP5 “Innovative Monitoring Techniques” will be included as new
panels. More in particular, new panels on the progress of the development of innovative tools emerged
from the WP5 Workshop held in Barcelona (as reported in MS18) will be included soon.
