Initial Assessment for the first cycle in Lithuania: analysis of the use of the marine waters

Daiva Semėnienė e-mail: daiva@aapc.lt

Current status of the MSFD implementation

• The MSFD related Programme of Measures

is not yet approved

• Activities related to the second cycle of the

MSFD implementation have not been started yet

Assessment of current status Assessment of driving forces and pressures Economic and social analysis Initial Assessment

• 1. Identify and describe the

different uses of the marine environment in terms of their economic and social importance and pressures

• 2. Describe in qualitative

terms and, if possible, in quantitative terms the cost of degradation of the marine environment

Objectives (steps) of the economic and social analysis during the Initial Assessment

Initial Assessment for the first cycle carried

• ut on time

The initial assessment of the current environmental status of national marine waters and the environmental impact and socio- economic analysis of human activities in these waters

Method applied

• Marine Water Account approach
• The cost of degradation is assessed according descriptors.

Depending on data availability, ecosystem service approach or cost-based approach was applied.

Steps completed during the analysis of the use of marine waters

• 1. Review and selection of value categories related to the use of

the marine waters relevant for Lithuania

• 2. Review and selection of the economic sectors relevant to

Lithuania

• 3. Description of all sectors related to the use of the marine

waters according to their economic and social importance and

• pressures. Analysis of the key sectors in order to determine

their value added, production value and employment

• 4. Comparison of the social and financial benefit provided by all

economic sectors related to the use of the marine waters with the corresponding indicators of Lithuania and Klaipėda county

Uses of marine waters analysed and described

+ Five studies on monetised assessment of the environmental status as well as two non-monetised studies on the use of the Baltic Sea and the impact of its quality on business were also described. The studies were conducted in Lithuania over the period 1993–2012.

Direct uses Indirect use values Non-use values

• Shipping
• Ports
• Fisheries
• Tourism
• Energy and

telecommunications

• Oil refining

(company Orlen Lietuva)

• Agriculture, industry,

households Ecosystem regulating functions: climate regulation, decomposition of waste and water purification /detoxification, erosion control and protection against natural disasters Ecosystem supporting functions: maintenance of biogeochemical cycling, supporting primary production, maintenance of food web dynamics, biodiversity and habitats, maintenance

• f resilience.

Challenges: data architecture

• Very difficult to separate coastal activities

from land-based ones.

• Very difficult to separate the statistics

dealing with the specific marine region from the overall statistics of that particular activity in the world.

• Lack of data on certain descriptors.
• Lack of impact data (a huge problem).

Knowledge gaps faced during the 1st IA (1)

• Unclear GES
• Links between descriptors and

drivers/pressures; the relationship between descriptors and ecosystem services.

• No knowledge on noise
• Insufficient monitoring, thus not enough data

for making assessment even in those cases when some monetary elements exist

Knowledge gaps faced during the 1st IA (2)

• Importance of joint international efforts
• There is not yet a “common language” in

understanding some MSFD terms, e.g. cost

• f degradation.

Priority needs identified during the first IA (1)

• Need to systemise and disseminate methods
• ther than monetary valuation
• A great need for research on the relationship

between pressures by certain economic activities on descriptors/indicators/ecosystem services

• Short-term advice on how to construct the

Programme of Measures when GES for certain descriptors and indicators is not set

Priority needs identified during the first IA (2)

• Work on the instruments for selection of

the most cost-effective options for measures

• Work on monetary assessment of

ecosystem services

• Research on behavioural aspects
