Why a research synthesis? How have you been or could be using research synthesis in your work?

7

“Knowledge synthesis is central for knowledge translation from research community to practice and for ensuring evidence-based decision making”

Use also chat/comment window – Suvi will collect the answers – you will been referred as ”expert from HELCOM GEAR” GEAR 22 – input to final seminar 16.6.2020

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?

What scientific evidence exists for the supply of marine and coastal ecosystem services in the Baltic Sea?

10

• 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 studied ecosystem services

• 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

What scientific evidence exists for the supply of marine and coastal ecosystem services in the Baltic Sea?

What information was new to you? What should be clarified? What should we put into policy brief: ecosystem services

12

• 57 papers
• Eutrophication, fish, recreation
• MAES: Latvia & Lithuania
• MSFD: 12 papers
• BSAP: 7 papers
• 70% of studies do not apply a

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

15

16

2079

Predominant topics: Fishing industries Cultural ecosystem services Persistent Organic compounds

16

Articles specifically mention ecosystem services and either human health or wellbeing

16

Examples of antibiotic resistance in the Baltic Sea, coastlines and fish farms to a range of antibiotics

38

Zoonotic diseases could the Baltic Sea be a source?

health and well-being

Sources

Seafood, mussels Seals Birds- ducks, migratory birds, herring gulls Ticks Sewage

Types

Nematodes Trematodes Vibrio infections Botulinum Avian flu Antibiotic resistant pathogens Campylobacteria

Areas

Bathing areas From the Baltic Proper to the coastlines Bird conservation islands

Good news?

A source of antimicrobial metabolites found

Zoonotics: a topical issue and a potential Baltic problem too?

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?

19

303 hits 19 relevant 6 data extraction

• Value indicator/description:“people’s

preferences, perceptions, motivations or underlying values related to ecosystem services”

• Increase comparability with the monetary

valuation review

• 10 different methods: time-use assessment,

photo-elicitation surveys, photo-series analysis, preference assessment, narrative assessment, Q-methodology, participatory GIS, participatory scenario planning, deliberative assessment, and multi-criteria analysis

Which value descriptions are used in non- monetary valuation studies for benefits from ecosystem services in the Baltic Sea?

20

• Studies assess (bio)physical changes in

the environment not the value of these changes to society

• Complement rather than substitute for

monetary assessment

• Ten methods we reviewed are

increasingly applied in other areas in the world at different stages of the policy cycle

• not applied in the marine ecosystem

service & Baltic Sea context

✓ the usefulness of floating wetlands for nutrient removal in a coastal lagoon ✓ the Archipelago Sea Biosphere Reserve visitors’ appreciation of a set of habitats and ecosystem services
