Abstract
This document describes phytoplankton species composition monitoring guidelines for the OSPAR area. “Phytoplankton” is here used throughout as a simple umbrella term to encompass prokaryotes as well as eukaryotes, but is limited to protists, whatever their size and trophic mode (i.e. auto-mixo or heterotroph). Micrometazoa <200 um and also larger metazoans are thus excluded from this definition. The scope of the guidelines includes eutrophication, biodiversity, invasive species, harmful algal blooms and climate change. This document replaces the document ‘JAMP Eutrophication Monitoring Guidelines: Phytoplankton Species Composition’, adopted 1997 in Brussels. (Ref. No.: Agreement 1997-05).

Sustainable Development Goals
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.a Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
