HOLAS I conclusions and consecutive work

• HELCOM concluded based on the HOLAS I that a

regionally coherent assessment requires regionally developed core indicators

• Agreement to develop core indicators
• CORESET I (2011-2013)

CORESET II (2013-2015)

• Core indicator porposals have been developed for with

the aim to cover all assessment elements

Core indicator definitions

(HELCOM MONAS 2012)

• Core indicator

– commonly agreed indicator – GES boundary allowing follow-up of progress towards reaching GES – Build on coordinated monitoring data when possible

• Pre-core indicator

– Agreed in principle to be used as a core indicator, however some critical component of the indicator is still under development

• Candidate indicator

– Living list of new proposals for core indicators being developed furhter by experts

Core indicators and assessment units

• Core indicators evaluation results are displayed for

assessment units defined in HELCOM Monitoing and Assessment Strategy (2013), four spatial scales;

• 1. Whole Baltic Sea
• 2. Sub-basins
• 3. Sub-basins with coastal area
• 4. Sub-basins with coastal area split into WFD

waterbodies or –types

• Accounting for ecological differences in different

regions may require assessment unit specific GES boundaries

Core indicators process

• All indicators, including their GES-boundaries, to be

included in HOLAS II are to be agreed by HELCOM HOD 51-2016 in December, thus proposals to be submitted for endorsement to State and Conservation 5-2016 by 14 October

• Study reservations in place by Denmark, Germany,

Poland and Sweden on GES-boundaries of the current set of core indicators to be clarified by in the same timeline

• Indicator assessment protocols to be finalize

EN-HZ 3-2016 agreed that leads are to test the proposed approach (so called MIME R-script)

COMBINE data

• Core indicators have been developed with the

aim to be based on COMBINE data

• For HOLAS II purposes hazardous substances

data needs to be delivered to COMBINE during the regular reporting proceedure, i.e. by end

• f September 2016

BalticBOOST HZ WS 2-2016 9/13/2016 15

COMBINE data

• ICES developing data views through BalticBOOST WP 2.2
• Data view builds on core indicator based extraction table

that specifying substances, congeners, matrices, conversions etc

• Widget provided (recently updated) to view available

stations

• Excel file with the data summaries also uploaded:

Other national/regional data

• COMBINE does currently not hold all relevant data

for the core indicators, e.g. White-tailed eagle productivity data is harvested from national sources

• To be concluded if other national datasets in addition

to core indicator data is to be included in HOLAS II, e.g. National WFD second cycle assessment details
