| Q4f - Programme description | The Belgian MSFD monitoring programme ‘Non-indigenous species’ aims at assessing the following ET:
ET 18: Introduction of new human induced non-indigenous species of macrofauna and macroflora (>1 mm) in relation to the 2012 baseline is prevented. Species for which there are taxonomic disputes and for which the changes of permanent introduction, including reproduction are negligible are not taken into consideration.
Two sub-programmes can be discerned:
• ANSBE-D2 NIS-SP11, targeting the detection of non-indigenous species introduced through human activities on man-made structures in the BPNS
• ANSBE-D2 NIS-SP12, targeting the detection of NIS within the macrobenthos and epibenthos at selected soft sedimented stations in the BPNS |
