The monitoring strategy aims at monitoring the area, distribution and status of benthic habitats, and indirectly also at mapping the load and verifying the effectiveness of measures. Through the parallel process of quantifying and locating existing pressures and human activities, better causation to benthos will be possible and quantifiable in the future. This programme includes descriptors D1,4,6 and is carried out in close coordination with the hydrographic measurement programmes (D7). The habitat maps still in progress are essential for this to happen. As both coastal waters and most of the open North Sea are currently not in good status in terms of seabed habitats, most of the annual monitoring takes place and a risk-based approach is not applied.

This programme includes descriptors D1,4,6 and is carried out in close coordination with the hydrographic measurement programmes (D7). The habitat maps still in progress are essential for this to happen. As both coastal waters and most of the open North Sea are currently not in good status in terms of seabed habitats, most of the annual monitoring takes place and a risk-based approach is not applied.

The monitoring strategy aims at monitoring the area, distribution and status of benthic habitats, and indirectly also at mapping the load and verifying the effectiveness of measures. Through the parallel process of quantifying and locating existing pressures and human activities, better causation to benthos will be possible and quantifiable in the future. This programme includes descriptors D1,4,6 and is carried out in close coordination with the hydrographic measurement programmes (D7). The habitat maps still in progress are essential for this to happen. As both coastal waters and most of the open Baltic Sea are currently not in good status in terms of seabed habitats, most of the annual monitoring takes place and a risk-based approach is not applied.
