Monitoring strategy description |
Cyprus has implemented the program code MALCY-D0146 in the geographical area of MAL-CY-MS. The monitoring program focuses on data collection of seabed habitats, including macroms, zoods and angiosperms (Posidonia oceanica).
Under this program, is the sub program MALCY-D0146-01 (macroalgae monitoring program) and it is listed as active. The sub program is conducted twice a year at Akamas, Paphos airport, Paphos Faros, and Cavo Pyla sites 3 and 4. The monitoring program includes field sampling, macroalgea samples, laboratory analyses (species classification, estimate of their coverage percentage) and assessment of the bioindicator EEI. The monitoring program follows the MFSD criteria and indicators of species distribution, species diversity (Pelou’s evenness-J’, Shannon-Weaver- H’), population size (population abundance and/or biomass), habitat condition (relative abundance and/or biomass), direct effects of nutrient enrichment (abundance of opportunistic macroalgae, species shift in floristic composition, indirect effects of nutrient enrichment, abundance of perennial seaweeds and seagrasses adversely impacted by decrease in water transparency), condition of benthic community (presence of particularly sensitive and/or tolerant species, mulitmetric indexes assessing benthic community condition and functionality), and ecosystem structure (composition and relative proportions of ecosystem compounds).
The WFD (2020) report stated macroalgae and the EIE biotic index from 2013 to 2019 has been in either good to high ecological condition.
The second sub program listed is the MALCY-D0146-02 (benthic macroinvertebrates monitoring program) and it is listed as active. The sub program is conducted annually. Three repeat samples of benthic macrofauna is collected in triplicate from each sampling station. All organisms are classified at the species level where practical. The data is then assessed for bioactivity indicators and the ecological status of marine areas by applying the Bentix bio-index. The monitoring program follows the MFSD criteria and indicators of species distribution (species number), species diversity (Pelou’s evenness-J’, Shannon-Weaver- H’), population size (population abundance and/or biomass), condition of benthic community (mulitmetric indexes assessing benthic community condition and functionality), and ecosystem structure (composition and relative proportions of ecosystem compounds).

The monitoring program follows the MFSD criteria and indicators of species distribution, species diversity (Pelou’s evenness-J’, Shannon-Weaver- H’), population size (population abundance and/or biomass), habitat condition (relative abundance and/or biomass), direct effects of nutrient enrichment (abundance of opportunistic macroalgae, species shift in floristic composition, indirect effects of nutrient enrichment, abundance of perennial seaweeds and seagrasses adversely impacted by decrease in water transparency), condition of benthic community (presence of particularly sensitive and/or tolerant species, mulitmetric indexes assessing benthic community condition and functionality), and ecosystem structure (composition and relative proportions of ecosystem compounds).
The WFD (2020) report stated macroalgae and the EIE biotic index from 2013 to 2019 has been in either good to high ecological condition.
The second sub program listed is the MALCY-D0146-02 (benthic macroinvertebrates monitoring program) and it is listed as active. The sub program is conducted annually. Three repeat samples of benthic macrofauna is collected in triplicate from each sampling station. All organisms are classified at the species level where practical. The data is then assessed for bioactivity indicators and the ecological status of marine areas by applying the Bentix bio-index. The monitoring program follows the MFSD criteria and indicators of species distribution (species number), species diversity (Pelou’s evenness-J’, Shannon-Weaver- H’), population size (population abundance and/or biomass), condition of benthic community (mulitmetric indexes assessing benthic community condition and functionality), and ecosystem structure (composition and relative proportions of ecosystem compounds).

Gaps and plans |
Continuation of all sub programs under program MALCY-D0146 and adherence to the “Guidelines for an Offshore Environmental Baseline Survey for Oil and Gas Exploration Activities in Cyprus” will help to expedite a change in GES from partial coverage to coverage. It is also recommended that the environmental authorities request offshore operators who collect environmental data to provide representatives of individual macrofauna species collected in order to develop a taxonomic archive of individuals. Preservation in formalin is used for classic taxonomic identification, of field samples to allow for the development of a genetic archive of macrofaunal biodiversity. Once a robust database of genetic markers for benthic macrofauna is developed, future assessment of biodiversity within these communities by utilizing eDNA techniques may be a cost-effective way of conducting long-term monitoring and achieving GES for this biodiversity component. |

Programme description |
The biodiversity monitoring programmes focuses on the distributions and abundances of birds, mammals, reptiles, fish and cephalopods (relating to Descriptor 1). The programmes capitalize in part on existing monitoring programmes. It addresses the MSFD biodiversity indicators as well as several of the indicators of Ecological Objective 01 adopted by the Contracting Parties of UNEP / MAP (2013) and aims to support the formal establishment of indicators and targets. The programmes also aim to generate a comprehensive assessment of marine species distribution and population size for all important species as well as potentially identify impacts and threats. The DFMR has implemented “Guidelines for an Offshore Environmental Baseline Survey for Oil and Gas Exploration Activities in Cyprus (DFMR, 2017)” to provide a current status of the environment prior to commencing activities in the oil and gas lease areas. Per these requirements, sediment samples are taken to assess the macrofaunal communities during Environmental Baseline Surveys (EBS) in the Economic Exclusion Zone (EEZ). The Cyprus fish and cephalopods monitoring programme focuses on state characteristics that describe the distributions, abundances, and demographic characteristics of demersal fish and cephalopods found in Cyprus waters. Moreover, shifts in these established indicators, e.g., population/age structure, may capture the effects of fishing (pressure). The programme uses data from the established Mediterranean International Trawling Survey (MedITS) to complement the three indicators and targets established in 2012 for fish, with additional ones for fish and cephalopods that will be formally established in 2018. The water column habitats monitoring programme addresses the state of the physicochemical conditions of the water column of Cyprus waters, and abundance and biomass of phytoplankton and zooplankton. Moreover, the programme assesses trends in their abundance and biomass with time, as groups with fast turnover times at the base of the food web. This programme establishes many baseline-level values against which the eutrophication (MALCY-D05) and hydrographical changes (MALCY-D07) monitoring programmes will assess their results. It addresses several MSFD biodiversity and food-web indicators of Ecological Objectives 05 and 07 adopted by the Contracting Parties of UNEP/MAP (2013). Marine & Environmental Research Lab Ltd.

Moreover, the programme assesses trends in their abundance and biomass with time, as groups with fast turnover times at the base of the food web. This programme establishes many baseline-level values against which the eutrophication (MALCY-D05) and hydrographical changes (MALCY-D07) monitoring programmes will assess their results.

The biodiversity monitoring programmes focuses on the distributions and abundances of birds, mammals, reptiles, fish and cephalopods (relating to Descriptor 1). The programmes capitalize in part on existing monitoring programmes. It addresses the MSFD biodiversity indicators as well as several of the indicators of Ecological Objective 01 adopted by the Contracting Parties of UNEP / MAP (2013) and aims to support the formal establishment of indicators and targets. The programmes also aim to generate a comprehensive assessment of marine species distribution and population size for all important species as well as potentially identify impacts and threats. The DFMR has implemented “Guidelines for an Offshore Environmental Baseline Survey for Oil and Gas Exploration Activities in Cyprus (DFMR, 2017)” to provide a current status of the environment prior to commencing activities in the oil and gas lease areas. Per these requirements, sediment samples are taken to assess the macrofaunal communities during Environmental Baseline Surveys (EBS) in the Economic Exclusion Zone (EEZ). The Cyprus fish and cephalopods monitoring programme focuses on state characteristics that describe the distributions, abundances, and demographic characteristics of demersal fish and cephalopods found in Cyprus waters. Moreover, shifts in these established indicators, e.g., population/age structure, may capture the effects of fishing (pressure).

Moreover, the programme assesses trends in their abundance and biomass with time, as groups with fast turnover times at the base of the food web. This programme establishes many baseline-level values against which the eutrophication (MALCY-D05) and hydrographical changes (MALCY-D07) monitoring programmes will assess their results.

The biodiversity monitoring programmes focuses on the distributions and abundances of birds, mammals, reptiles, fish and cephalopods (relating to Descriptor 1). The programmes capitalize in part on existing monitoring programmes. It addresses the MSFD biodiversity indicators as well as several of the indicators of Ecological Objective 01 adopted by the Contracting Parties of UNEP / MAP (2013) and aims to support the formal establishment of indicators and targets. The programmes also aim to generate a comprehensive assessment of marine species distribution and population size for all important species as well as potentially identify impacts and threats. The DFMR has implemented “Guidelines for an Offshore Environmental Baseline Survey for Oil and Gas Exploration Activities in Cyprus (DFMR, 2017)” to provide a current status of the environment prior to commencing activities in the oil and gas lease areas. Per these requirements, sediment samples are taken to assess the macrofaunal communities during Environmental Baseline Surveys (EBS) in the Economic Exclusion Zone (EEZ). The Cyprus fish and cephalopods monitoring programme focuses on state characteristics that describe the distributions, abundances, and demographic characteristics of demersal fish and cephalopods found in Cyprus waters. Moreover, shifts in these established indicators, e.g., population/age structure, may capture the effects of fishing (pressure).

The Cyprus eutrophication monitoring programme focuses on activities and pressures that may bring about eutrophication. The common indicators of the programme were decided jointly with other Mediterranean EU member-states, capitalizing on existing monitoring programmes in the framework of the WFD and UNEP/MAP. This programme addresses in whole or in part the indicators of Ecological Objective 05 adopted by the Contracting Parties of UNEP/MAP (2013).
Cyprus proposes to install Ferrybox on its ferries. Ferryboxes have been installed on ferries across the Mediterranean among other bodies of water with ferry routes. The Ferrybox is automated that can monitor various parameters such as plankton, temperature, salinity, pH, nutrients, chlorophyll a, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen. They can be installed on ferry lines that operate regularly, are easy to maintain, and provides information over a greater area than a single point source during a survey. |

Monitoring details |
The Game Fund Service methodology was used and consisted of monthly bird observations in each investigation area. The monitoring program followed the MSFD criteria and indicators of species distribution, distributional range, distributional pattern within the latter, population size, and population abundance and/or biomass; and UNEP/MAP (2013) criteria and indicators of distributional range, population abundance, and population density.
The physicochemical parameters of the water column include master-variables that control the productivity of the food web and the habitability of the water column. Establishing baseline values at suitable reference stations can already be achieved from existing data for coastal waters (UNEP/MAP, WFD, and Nitrates Directive monitoring) as well as territorial waters for some parameters. Expansion beyond the coastal zone will allow the firm establishment of baseline conditions for these master-variables that are only otherwise known from occasional research studies in the region. See also the “Guidelines for an Offshore Environmental Baseline Survey for Oil and Gas Exploration Activities in Cyprus (DFMR, 2017). |

The monitoring methods implemented in previous surveys in the region (eg. Ryan at al., 2014) and/or those recommended by a regional body, eg. ACCOBAMS (Agreement on the Conservation of cetaceans in the Black Sea Mediterranean Sea and Contigous Atlantic Area) are implemented. Mortality monitoring is conducted according to cetacean and turtle strandings programme procedures. See also “Guidelines for an Offshore Environmental Baseline Survey for Oil and Gas Exploration Activities in Cyprus (DFMR, 2017). For the marine turtles the monitoring follows the “Manual for the Conservation of Marine Turtles in the Mediterranean, (1995) UNEP(MAP/SPA) IUCN/CWS/Fish. Dept. MANRE (Cyprus)” and the “Addendum 1 – Conservation Practices, Manual for the Conservation of Marine Turtles in the Mediterranean (2008)”. The monitoring of Monachus monachus follows a national Protocol.
