Q4f - Programme description
Lager non-inidgenous species are registered in the general monitoring programme for macroalgae, in addition to this a detailed registering of new species in the subprogramme for hardbottomflora and -fauna at stone reefs is made. Currently a new monitoring programme for non-indigenous species is being developed that will focus on hot spot areas (e.g. harbours) and new technologies to be implemented in the period 2015-17.

Q5f - Description of programme for GES assessment
This programme which is under development wll provide data on key indicators for desriptor 2. The programme will provide information on distribution, abundance and hot spots and eventually also data for asssessing possible distances from the GES description.
