Web resources
FISHREG
FISHREG maintains two portals dedicated to fisheries scientific advice and fisheries data collection, respectively.
STECF
FISHREG scientific staff assure the coordination of the STECF advice process. STECF is the Commission's Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries and its scientific advice is used as a basis for Commission proposals to the Council and the European Parliament. In this context, the STECF web site http://stecf.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ contains information on STECF's legal basis, its agenda of meetings (about 25 meetings per year on a wide variety of topics), its members and scientific experts, the repository of STECF reports, and other relevant information. To prepare and register for the meetings, this web site is consulted regularly by the invited experts themselves (about 400 experts take part in STECF meetings each year). Its document repository is also consulted regularly by the wider fisheries management scientific community, fisheries stakeholders and the media.
DCF
FISHREG collects and maintains fisheries data reported by EU Member States in the framework of the Data Collection Framework (DCF) - previously it was the Data Collection Regulation (DCR). The DCF framework, adopted in 2008, obliges Member States to provide access to these data for fisheries management advice, scientific publication, public debate and stakeholder participation in policy development. Several times a year, following formal data calls by the Commission, national correspondents upload biological, economic, fishing effort or discards data using the dedicated web site https://datacollection.jrc.ec.europa.eu/.
VESCOSUR
ConTraffic
For container monitoring a web-services portal is provided for 'ConTraffic' customers (http://contraffic.jrc.it/). The access to some of these functions is restricted to authorized users.
EGEMP
Marine oil spills, both potential and actual, pose a risk for the European coastlines in terms of ecological damage, socio-economic losses and the influence on the coastal industry. This is the reason, why the European coastal states have decided to establish surveillance systems to monitor the state of the seas, to deter potential polluters and to support combating activities.
To exchange knowledge, to harmonise the systems, to achieve synergies and to support a common approach EC DG-ENV and the Joint Research Center took the initiative in 2004 to set up a working group of national experts on satellite monitoring techniques for detection of oil spills on European waters.

MULTRA
The collection and integration of safety data at EU level requires secured access to the web based facilities that allow for the insertion and retrieval of the safety data. In addition the JRC has a strong co-ordinating role in assisting the user community which is done via domain specific portals where the involved professionals can share and find information and where future strategic developments can be agreed on.
The Maritime Affair unit has a consolidated group of sites that focus on environmental issues, evaluation and support of human activities on the sea but also on transport related issues that are still governed but the maritime code.
The Maritime Affair unit has among the strongest partner EC DG-MARE and many of those sites may provide an evidence of this bind.
Container and vessel activities are one of the fields of expertise that are part of this panorama.
Support to aviation entities is part of the activity of Multra action and this is a strong asset in the unit.
As result of this analisys here is a short selection of those sites:
