The second CEARAC Expert Meeting on Eutrophication Assessment in the NOWPAP Region was held on 22 March 2019 in Vladivostok, Russia. As “Index of coastal eutrophication” became one of the sub-indicators of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14.1, the meeting participants recognized the importance of continuing eutrophication assessment in the NOWPAP region. CEARAC has been processing a regionally tuned remotely sensed chlorophyll-a concentration (satellite Chl-a) data in the Northwest Pacific region and regularly provide such data on the Marine Environment Watch System website. Using level and trend of these regionally tuned time series data, CEARAC developed NOWPAP Eutrophication Assessment Tool (NEAT) to identify potential eutrophic zones in the NOWPAP Region. The NEAT was introduced at the meeting and the meeting participants endorsed its effectiveness and encouraged CEARAC its further development with new ocean color satellite sensor data by inter calibration of sensors and cross validation with in situ chlorophyll-a concentration data. Successfully story of the NEAT was also introduced in a webstory of the UNEP website.
