On specific request the details of MC-SALT project have been provided to the STAGES consortium. The STAGES survey approached project coordinators from around 4,000 marine research activities with public European and national funding with a response rate of circa 32% (around 1,200 re­plies), from which 20% indicated relevance to the implementation of the Marine Strategy Frame­work Directive (MSFD) and achievement of Good Environmental Status (GES) in European waters. As a result the data of MC-SALT project are now available on the Marine Knowledge Gate—a major ongo­ing web portal of marine research projects in Europe. Even if the project Mc-Salt is not a marine research project, however as results foreseen two outputs that are defined by the Consortium Stages as "Knowledge Ouput".
