Why a research synthesis? How have you been or could be using research synthesis in your work? “Knowledge synthesis is central for knowledge translation from research Use also chat/comment community to practice window – Suvi will and for ensuring collect the answers – evidence-based decision you will been referred as making ” ” expert from HELCOM GEAR” 7 GEAR 22 – input to final seminar 16.6.2020

Review Questions 1. What scientific evidence exists for the supply of marine and coastal ecosystem services in the Baltic Sea? 2. What linkages have been researched between Baltic Sea ecosystems and the positive and negative impacts to human health and well-being? 3. Which value descriptions are used in non-monetary valuation studies on benefits from ecosystem services in the Baltic Sea? 4. What scientific evidence exists for which monetary valuation methods have been applied for valuing environmental improvements and ecosystem services in the Baltic Sea? 8

What scientific evidence exists for the supply of marine and coastal ecosystem services in the Baltic Sea? ● 1006 search results from 11 databases > 57 papers found to be relevant ● Searches are only for ecosystem services • We did not interpret marine research as being ecosystem services research ● Eutrophication mitigation, the provision of fish and recreation are the most 10 studied ecosystem services

What scientific evidence exists for the supply of marine and coastal ecosystem services in the Baltic Sea? ● Authors from Sweden, Finland and Germany published the most studies (58%), no paper from Estonia was recognized ● National mapping initiatives (MAES, Action 5 of the European Biodiversity Strategy to 2020) are only found for the Latvian and Lithuanian coast ● 12 authors refer to the MSFD, 7 papers mentioned the BSAP ● Nearly 70% of studies do not apply a classification system > no common terminology 11

What information was new to you? What should be clarified? What should we put into policy brief: ecosystem services ● 57 papers ● Eutrophication, fish, recreation ● MAES: Latvia & Lithuania ● MSFD: 12 papers ● BSAP: 7 papers ● 70% of studies do not apply a classification system (e.g. CICES) 12

What linkages have been researched between Baltic Sea ecosystems and the positive and negative impacts to human health and well-being? 15

Predominant topics: Fishing industries 2079 Cultural ecosystem services Persistent Organic compounds Articles specifically 16 mention ecosystem services and either human health or wellbeing health and well-being Examples of antibiotic 16 resistance in the Baltic Sea, coastlines and fish farms to a range of antibiotics 38 Zoonotic diseases could the Baltic Sea be a source? 16

Zoonotics: a topical issue and a potential Baltic problem too? Sources Types Areas Good news? Seafood, mussels Nematodes Bathing areas A source of antimicrobial Seals Trematodes From the Baltic metabolites Proper to the Birds- ducks, Vibrio infections found coastlines migratory birds, Botulinum herring gulls Bird Avian flu conservation Ticks islands Antibiotic Sewage resistant pathogens Campylobacteria

What information was new to you? What should be clarified? What should we put into policy brief: health & well-being 18

Which value descriptions are used in non- monetary valuation studies for benefits from ecosystem services in the Baltic Sea? ● Value indicator/description: “people’s preferences, perceptions, motivations or 303 hits underlying values related to ecosystem services” ● Increase comparability with the monetary 19 relevant valuation review ● 10 different methods: time-use assessment, photo-elicitation surveys, photo-series analysis, preference assessment, narrative assessment, Q-methodology, participatory GIS, 6 data extraction participatory scenario planning, deliberative 19 assessment, and multi-criteria analysis

Which value descriptions are used in non- monetary valuation studies for benefits from ecosystem services in the Baltic Sea? ● Studies assess (bio)physical changes in the environment not the value of these ✓ the usefulness of floating wetlands changes to society for nutrient removal in a coastal ● Complement rather than substitute for lagoon monetary assessment ● Ten methods we reviewed are ✓ the Archipelago Sea Biosphere increasingly applied in other areas in Reserve visitors’ appreciation of a the world at different stages of the set of habitats and ecosystem policy cycle services • not applied in the marine ecosystem service & Baltic Sea context 20
