| Q4f - Programme description | The Belgian MSFD monitoring programme ‘Contaminants in seafood’ aims at assessing the following ETs:
• ET 45 – Negative trend in the annual evolution of the quantities of stranded litter, following the guideline for Monitoring Marine Litter on the Beaches in the OSPAR maritime area (2010)
• ET 46 – Negative trend in the annual evolution of the quantities of litter collected at sea
• ET 47 – Overall reduction in the total number of visible litter items on coastlines by 2020 (e.g. based on a five year moving average)
• ET 48 – Less than 10 % of the northern fulmars (Noordse stormvogel - Fulmarus glacialis) contain more than 0,1 g plastic in their stomach
Three sub-programmes can be discerned:
• ANSBE-D10 Litter-SP26 (delivering data to assess ET45 and 47), targeting the quantification of litter from two selected Belgian reference beaches
• ANSBE-D10 Litter-SP27 (delivering data to assess ET46), targeting quantification of marine litter accidentally being dredged in fishing nets
• ANSBE-D10 Litter-SP28 (delivering data to assess ET48), targeting the presence of plastics in the stomachs of beached Northern Fulmars |
