The aim of the monitoring programme is to collect data on human activities that directly or indirectly impact the marine environment. The monitored human activities are those listed in the MSFD Annex III Table 2b (2017/845/EC) and relevant for point (c) of Article 8(1), and Articles 10 and 13. The following activities are covered: Coastal defence and flood protection; Offshore structures (other than for oil/gas/renewables); Restructuring of seabed morphology, including dredging and depositing of materials; Extraction of minerals; Extraction of oil and gas, including infrastructure; Extraction of water; Renewable energy generation (wind, wave and tidal power), including infrastructure; Transmission of electricity and communications (cables); Fish harvesting (professional, recreational); Fish and shellfish processing; Marine plant harvesting; Hunting and collecting for other purposes; Aquaculture — marine, including infrastructure; Transport infrastructure; Transport — shipping; Waste treatment and disposal; Tourism and leisure infrastructure; Tourism and leisure activities; Military operations and Research, survey and educational activities. Data are gathered at least once during a six-year assessment period, but in some cases also annually. The system of such data collection activities is still under development. The programme corresponds to the following monitoring programmes in the indicative list: Activities extracting living resources (fisheries including recreational, marine plant harvesting, hunting and collecting); Activities extracting non-living resources (sand, gravel, dredging); Activities producing food (aquaculture); Activities with permanent infrastructures (e.g. renewable energy, oil & gas, ports) or structural changes (e.g. coastal defences); Sea-based mobile activities (shipping, boating); Coastal human activities (e.g. tourism, recreational sports, ecotourism).

The programme is the further development of the programme presented in 2014. The code of the programme also changed.

The aim of the monitoring programme is to collect data on human activities that directly or indirectly impact the marine environment. The monitored human activities are those listed in the MSFD Annex III Table 2b (2017/845/EC) and relevant for point (c) of Article 8(1), and Articles 10 and 13. The following activities are covered: Coastal defence and flood protection; Offshore structures (other than for oil/gas/renewables); Restructuring of seabed morphology, including dredging and depositing of materials; Extraction of minerals; Extraction of oil and gas, including infrastructure; Extraction of water; Renewable energy generation (wind, wave and tidal power), including infrastructure; Transmission of electricity and communications (cables); Fish harvesting (professional, recreational); Fish and shellfish processing; Marine plant harvesting; Hunting and collecting for other purposes; Aquaculture — marine, including infrastructure; Transport infrastructure; Transport — shipping; Waste treatment and disposal; Tourism and leisure infrastructure; Tourism and leisure activities; Military operations and Research, survey and educational activities.

The aim of the programme is to monitor the abundance of waterbirds in the Estonian coastal and off-shore areas during the wintering season. It provides data to monitoring strategy “SD1.1 – Biological diversity – Birds”. The programme is related to GES Descriptor D1, Criterion D1C2 and potentially D1C3 and D1C4, as well as GES Descriptor D4, Criteria D4C1 and D4C2. Monitoring is conducted yearly with a goal to cover the whole area (coastal and off-shore areas) every five years. Visual counting from land in defined sectors and flight counting in off-shore areas are conducted. The programme (data collection) is regionally coordinated by HELCOM and Wetlands International. Data are annually reported to the national environmental monitoring database KESE (by 1 March). Data collection into the regional database for assessment purposes is coordinated by the HELCOM/ICES JWGBird Group. The programme was updated and modified since 2014 by adding the monitoring of the abundance of wintering waterbirds in the off-shore area. The programme corresponds to the following monitoring programmes in the indicative list: Mobile species – distribution, abundance and/or biomass; Mobile species – population characteristics.

The aim of the programme is to monitor the abundance of waterbirds in Estonian coastal areas during the breeding season. It provides data to monitoring strategy “SD1.1 – Biological diversity – Birds” and “SD8 – Contaminants”. The programme is related to GES Descriptor D1, Criterion D1C2 and potentially D1C3 and D1C4, as well as GES Descriptor D4, Criteria D4C2 and D4C4 and Descriptor D8, Criterion D8C2. Monitoring is conducted yearly on small islands (island groups) where the full number of nests and species are registered. White-tailed eagle breeding success is monitored to assess the impact of contaminants. The monitoring area of the white-tailed eagle relevant to marine status assessment covers the area up to 20 km landward from the seashore. The programme data collection is regionally coordinated via HELCOM. Data are annually reported to the national environmental monitoring database KESE (annually by 1 March). The programme corresponds to following monitoring programmes in the indicative list: Mobile species – distribution, abundance and/or biomass; Mobile species – health status; Mobile species – population characteristics.

The aim of the programme is to monitor the status of the coastal fish species and communities (Species composition of the group; Size, age and sex structure; fecundity, survival and mortality/injury rates; Habitat for the species (extent, suitability); Species abundance (numbers of individuals and/or biomass)). It provides data to monitoring strategy “SD1.4 Biodiversity – Fish”, „SD3–Commercially exploited fish“ and “SD4/SD1 Food webs / Biodiversity – ecosystems”, but also to “SD2– Non-indigenous species”. The program is regionally coordinated by HELCOM (partially also by ICES) and the HELCOM monitoring manual is followed. During the annual monitoring programme, all coastal fish species are included in the dataset, but special attention is directed towards economically significant or ecologically relevant key species (perch, flounder, pikeperch). Atlantic salmon is used as an indicator species for migratory (anadromous) fishes and is monitored in coastal waters and selected rivers (salmonid habitats). Monitoring of protected fish species under HD needs to be developed for the sea area as well. The programme was modified from 2014 by adding migratory fishes that were as a separate sub-programme in 2014. The programme corresponds to following monitoring programmes in the indicative list: Mobile species – distribution, abundance and/or biomass; Mobile species – population characteristics; Mobile species – mortality/injury rates from fisheries (targeted and/or incidental).

Atlantic salmon is used as an indicator species for migratory (anadromous) fishes and is monitored in coastal waters and selected rivers (salmonid habitats). Monitoring of protected fish species under HD needs to be developed for the sea area as well. The programme was modified from 2014 by adding migratory fishes that were as a separate sub-programme in 2014. The programme corresponds to following monitoring programmes in the indicative list: Mobile species – distribution, abundance and/or biomass; Mobile species – population characteristics; Mobile species – mortality/injury rates from fisheries (targeted and/or incidental).

The aim of the programme is to monitor the status of the coastal fish species and communities (Species composition of the group; Size, age and sex structure; fecundity, survival and mortality/injury rates; Habitat for the species (extent, suitability); Species abundance (numbers of individuals and/or biomass)).
