WP4 of JERICO-NEXT aims to synthesize the project’s activities in the other WPs and gather the contributions around applied Joint Research Activity Projects (JRAPs) selected to benefit of and highlight JERICO-NEXT activities. In order to fulfil this objective, methodologies developed or improved in WP3 were applied in the JRAPs;the provision of data assembled and distributed was undertaken according to the WP5 recommendations; dedicated topical approaches of the scientific strategy matured jointly with WP1&4 (Deliverable D4.1) were applied within the JRAPs, providing then in return essential input to the future road map of the research infrastructures. Indeed, six JRAPs were implemented to address different key environmental issues and/or policy needs such as those considered by the MSFD, and according to the 6 JERICO-NEXT scientific areas: 1- JRAP#1 on pelagic biodiversity 2- JRAP#2 on benthic biodiversity 3- JRAP#3 on chemical contaminant occurrence and related biological responses 4- JRAP#4 on hydrography and transport 5- JRAP#5 on carbon fluxes and carbonate system 6- JRAP#6 on operational oceanography and forecasting. These JRAPs were not intending to implement similar actions at each JERICO-RI site but only to a selection of sites/regions according to the consortium interests and requirements from local to regional scales. Consequently, it is paramount to regionally synthesize the preliminary results after deployments in JRAPs, which is the purpose of this document. The main document is organised according to the following regions and sites: - Bay of Biscay (South East Bay of Biscay, Portuguese Margin and Nazaré Canyon, Girond Mud patch and Bay of Brest) - Channel and North Sea - Kattegat and Skagerrak Sea - Baltic Sea - Norwegian Sea - Med. Sea: From Liguria to the Ibiza Channel - Med. Sea: Northern Adriatic Sea - Med. Sea: Cretan Sea. Results for those regions are presented in chapter 3 after consideration of the regional or site specificities related to the most relevant scientific issues of the ...
