The Adriatic Sea is rich in biodiversity, its mapping of chemical, physical and ecological data, to define its ecological status and quality, are needed as it is still incomplete. The pressure on marine ecosystems is increasing due to coastlines population density and use of the sea for economic purposes such as fishing, navigation, or recreational purposes. The aim of the MSP is to identify and organize the anthropogenic pressures for a rational use of the marine environment, to protect it and preserve its ecosystems. Data from chemical, microbiological analysis, distribution of the pollution (i.e., impact of harbors and contaminations from the coastline), shipping, are collected and organized to prepare data set ready to feed a hub of data then exploitable by stakeholders and decision-makers in MSP' application. These data come from the capitalization of Interreg ITHR Std projects involved for preparing the present proposal. Protocols and guidelines to manipulate these data and to read the results of such measurements, as well as to organize them in a harmonized way are prepared, also to offer shared methodological tactics to speed up the mapping processes and the feeding of this data hub. Good practices are rationalised and shared cross-border.
