Book Reference Guidance on potential exclusion of certain WFD priority substances from MSFD monitoring beyond coastal and territorial waters: a pragmatic and qualitative approach for the open sea
According to Commission Decision (EU) 2017/848 under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), EU Member States (MS) shall consider, in their Descriptor 8 primary criterion (D8C1) assessments, the WFD Priority Substances (PS) and River Basin Specific Pollutants (RBSP) within coastal and territorial waters and also beyond territorial waters if these still may give rise to pollution effects. Some WFD PS might not be relevant for the marine environment in the open sea and, consequently, might be excluded from MSFD monitoring beyond the territorial waters. MS have expressed the need for a framework for the deselection of WFD PS from monitoring under the MSFD, in order to save resources. The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), collaborating within the MSFD Expert Network on Contaminants, has developed a pragmatic approach to identify the WFD PS that can be excluded from MSFD monitoring in the open sea beyond territorial waters without reducing protection of European Seas. This should preempt the need for individual MS to provide rationales for such exclusions, support comparable monitoring and assessments across national boundaries, and enable MS to focus their monitoring efforts on other (including emerging) substances that require attention.

Book Reference Guide taxonomique des oligochètes dulçaquicoles du Maghreb
Résumé Ce guide fournit l’information taxonomique pour les 68 espèces d’oligochètes dulçaquicoles connus à l’heure actuelle au Maghreb, au sens strict, c’est-à-dire la région d’Afrique du nord qui regroupe le Maroc, l’Algérie et la Tunisie. Au niveau du Grand Maghreb, ce guide est potentiellement valable pour la Libye mais pas pour la Mauritanie. Une introduction est faite au milieu dulçaquicole du Maghreb et sa spécificité pour les oligochètes, ainsi qu’une présentation de la biologie et la diversité globale des oligochètes. Les récentes avancées dans le domaine de la nomenclature et de la classification du groupe sont intégrées. Un panorama détaillé des familles maghrébines d’oligochètes est dressé, précédé par des introductions à l’anatomie générale et aux caractères taxonomiques des oligochètes. Les aspects pratiques liés à l’échantillonnage et les techniques de préparation des spécimens et leur conservation sont détaillés, ainsi que les étapes à suivre pour les identifier. Une clé d’identification au niveau spécifique est fournie pour chaque famille, valable uniquement pour les oligochètes connus à l’heure actuelle au Maghreb, mais en précisant les espèces susceptibles d’y être rencontrées en raison de leur distribution biogéographique présente. Enfin, ce guide donne la description d’Aktedrilus yacoubii (Naididae, Phallodrilinae), espèce nouvelle pour la science et le Maghreb. Mots-clés – Clitellata, oligochètes dulçaquicoles, Maghreb, clés d’identification, taxonomie, liste d’espèces, échantillonnage, préparation de spécimens. Abstract This guide provides taxonomical information for the 68 freshwater oligochaete species known to date in Maghreb sensu stricto, namely this region of Northern Africa that includes Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. At the “Grand Maghreb” level, the guide is potentially valid for Libya as well but not for Mauritania. An introduction to the freshwater environment of Maghreb and its peculiarity vis-à-vis the oligochaetes is given, as well as a presentation of the biology and general diversity of oligochaetes. Recent nomenclatural and classification advances are integrated. A comprehensive overview of Maghrebin oligochaete families is given, preceded by introductions into the general anatomy and taxonomic traits of oligochaetes. Practical aspects of sampling, and techniques of specimen preparation and conservation are detailed, as well as steps required for their identification. An identification key, at the species level, is provided for each family, only valid for oligochaetes presently known from Maghreb; however, species likely to be found in the future, because of their current biogeographic distribution, are also mentioned. Lastly, this guide gives the description of Aktedrilus yacoubii (Naididae, Phallodrilinae), a species new for science and Maghreb. Keywords – Clitellata, freshwater oligochaetes, Maghreb, identification keys, taxonomy, species list, sampling, specimen processing.
