Q4f - Programme description
"The monitoring programme for seabed habitats consists of subprogrammes that fulfils the main parts of the DPSIR causal framework: • State of habitats (habitat for species, extent, suitability) • Mortality rates from anthropogenic activities • Distribution and extent (incl. habitat forming species and biogenic reefs) • Physical characteristics (topography, bathymetry, organics, oxygen levels) • Community characteristics (species composition, abundance and/or biomass) • Benthic species (species composition, abundance, coverage) • Physical loss –dredging and disposal of dredged materials • Pysical disturbance from bottom trawling • Extracting non-living ressources

The oceanographical monitoring programme of the Danish Meteorological Institute, DMI measures water level, tides, water temperature and currents that provide data for the forecast models of the DMI institute. The data supplements the general marine data collected in the framework of the existing environmental monitoring and is included in the marine models being developed under the National Monitoring Programme for Water and Nature, NOVANA. In the present BALDK-D07 programme on hydrological changes extraction operations are included as these may cause hydrographical changes. Major infrastructure works such as the fortcoming fixed link between Denmark and Germany is not included in the MSFD programme. A separate programme will be developed to control and monitor environmental status in relation to the environmental targets stipulated in the forthcoming Construction Bill for the fixed link across Fehmarn,

The general programme provides information to assess possible alternations og the physical environment. Th extration activity is regulated in detail in Statutory Order no. 1169 issued 3/10-2013. In addition to this separate programmes are prepared in relation to possible large scale construction activities at sea based on EIA-assessments.

There are no specific technical descriptions of the methods behing the distribution maps. It takes place in two phases - mapping of bottom substrates using either side scan sonar or multibeam sonar and surveys of the biological compositions of the areas using videosurveys. Definitions of the habitattypes follows a habitattype description written by the Danish Nature Agency in coorperation with DCE. http://bios.au.dk/fileadmin/bioscience/Fagdatacentre/Biodiversitet/Habitat-beskrivelser-app4b-ver104_opdatering-havtyper2012.pdf.

DTU Aqua has access to VMS data from all Danish commercial vessels from 2005 (above 15 meters) and from 2012 (above 12 meters). VMS data has been linked to logbook data and can therefore show pressure on the seabed by gear and target species.The access is to all Danish vessels within this size category in all waters.

Q4j - Description of spatial scope
The monitoring is not systematic. Larger scale distribution mapping of reefs and sandbanks started in 2011. Mapping takes place within Natura 2000 areas and specific mapping of deep muddy bottom and shallow mud surfaces are not mapped.
The program including rationale for the geographic scope can be found here: http://naturstyrelsen.dk/naturbeskyttelse/national-naturbeskyttelse/overvaagning-af-vand-og-natur/novana-program/ The monitoring program is developed for both the Water Framework directive and adapted and expanded for the Habitats directive. It monitors development, species composition and biodiversity on reefs at different depths. It therefore contributes to the monitoring of impacts of measures as well as establishes the basis for future environmental managerial decisions.

The vessel monitoring system (VMS) is a satellite-based monitoring system which at regular intervals provides data to the fisheries authorities on the location, course and speed of vessels.

Currently the definitions of the habitat types are not agreed on between countries,. The definition fits within the definition described in the habitatsdirective, but could still vary from country to country. However, if other countries have similar maps produced an overall view of the the distribution of habitat types should be possible. Danish data is currently used for fisheries regulation in an international setting - where other countries have fishing rights in Danish waters.

All current mapping projects has been combined: http://miljoegis.mim.dk/cbkort?&profile=natura2000planer2basis2013 Additionally the individual mapping projects are available in separat paper reports such as: http://www2.nst.dk/Download/Udgivelser/N2000_Marin_raastof_naturtypekort_kattegat_oestersoe_2011.pdfand as interactive URL sites: http://www2.naturstyrelsen.dk/habitatkortlaegning/
http://www.miljoeportal.dk/Sider/Forside.aspx, in addition aggregated data is reported in yearly reports under the National Monitoring Programme for Water and Nature, NOVANA, as well as in the forthcoming MSFD art 8 initial assessment due in 2018.

Data is available and can be requested. As both logbook data and VMS data is realtime and online the data can be made available on request. Do to the law on personal data, the data is only made available in aggregated form. In addition, aggregated data is reported in the forthcoming MSFD art 8 initial assessment due in 2018.
