Description parameter
The calculation of the threshold is based on an entry rate of an average of 6 species per 6 years of reporting as established by continuous monitoring, and the assumption that good environmental status is achieved if less than a quarter (< 25 %) of previous entries of non-indigenous species occurs.

The element-based reporting scheme does not fit the D2C1 criterion "Number of new non-indigenous species added". An assessment of the condition of the newly introduced species is not foreseen under the MSFD and has not be carried out and will not be carried out in the future (see "Element status": not assessed). Since these are new discoveries, the species can not be found on a list agreed beforehand (see "Element Source": national).

Description overall status
The HELCOM status of the Baltic Sea report states that for the entire Baltic Sea, good environmental status for non-indigenous species has not been achieved. For the HELCOM evaluation, data were available only for some areas ("sub-basins"). Therefore, the data provided by Germany for the Kieler Bucht, Mecklenburger Bucht, the Arcona basin and the Bornholm Basin significantly determine the HELCOM assessment of the intake rate of non-native species. As of 2016, a total of 58 non-indigenous species have been detected in German Baltic Sea waters (LLUR 2014, Neobiota Platform North and Baltic Sea 2017). This was 22 more than in the initial assessment in 2012. Half of the species are attributed to the existing data and not counted as new evidence. During the period under consideration from 2011 to 2016, 11 new species were actually detected in the German Baltic Sea waters for the first time), most of which can be traced back to human activities. The entry trail of newly documented species is dominated by unintentional introduction via shipping and aquaculture.
