Aerial surveillance and satellite surveillance is standard practice in some member states. Through regional agreements, for example HELCOM and Bonn Agreements. There is much understanding and co-operation between Member States. However, on occasions there is a duplication of resources, time and effort.

 

A transnational approach would provide added value and ensure a better targeting of limited resources. It would also produce better results in the identification of marine polluters.

Member States and partners with no existing monitoring programmes could be identified and offered the expertise in developing new system on a transnational basis.
