Abstract

In the wake of the European and global spatial data infrastructures (SDI) it is important to build information systems which use and serve thematic data in compliance with the INSPIRE Directive. In the context of hydrographic data, the Directive requires EU member states to collect and share information on maritime areas divided into regions and sub-regions, as well as coastal zone management areas. These data are part of recently developed marine cadastres. According to the INSPIRE Directive the marine cadastres should be supplemented with information on the physical condition of the seas as well as on the specific natural characteristics and phenomena occurring in the seas. The latter can include dynamic information on marine pollution such as cyanobacterial blooms. The paper presents the concept of dynamic satellite-based cyanobacteria bloom detection for the purpose of its analysis in the context of marine cadastre.
