The sub-programmes provide information on the size and distribution of seabird breeding populations, the number and occurrence of wintering waterbirds, the possible occurrence of mass deaths of seabirds, the production of marine eagle and the number of seabirds hunted. The hunting catch sub-programme also collects data on hunted seals. From a long-term perspective, the status of seabird populations in the Baltic Sea has been influenced by the release of oil, the accumulation of environmental poisons, the spread of which into the archipelago, the previous collection of eggs, the death of birds in fishing gear and hunting. The conditions in the breeding or wintering areas outside the Baltic Sea also affect the numbers of birds in the Baltic Sea. Global warming has an impact on the ice situation in the Baltic Sea, which contributes to the distribution of wintering waterfowl. The programme provides data for descriptors 1 (criteria D1C1, D1C2 and D1C), 4 (criteria D4C1 and D4C3) and 8 (criteria D8C2). Data on the numbers of seabirds dying in fishing gear have not been systematically collected in Finland in the past, but since 2013 commercial fisheries catch reporting forms have also been requested to fill in data on birds killed in fishing gear (see sub-programme Commercial catch statistics). In practice, seabirds of the same species in the Baltic Sea belonged to the same population, so it would be justified to combine the results of different coastal States in order to produce reliable and comprehensive farm assessments.

Global warming has an impact on the ice situation in the Baltic Sea, which contributes to the distribution of wintering waterfowl. The programme provides data for descriptors 1 (criteria D1C1, D1C2 and D1C), 4 (criteria D4C1 and D4C3) and 8 (criteria D8C2). Data on the numbers of seabirds dying in fishing gear have not been systematically collected in Finland in the past, but since 2013 commercial fisheries catch reporting forms have also been requested to fill in data on birds killed in fishing gear (see sub-programme Commercial catch statistics). In practice, seabirds of the same species in the Baltic Sea belonged to the same population, so it would be justified to combine the results of different coastal States in order to produce reliable and comprehensive farm assessments.

The sub-programmes provide information on the size and distribution of seabird breeding populations, the number and occurrence of wintering waterbirds, the possible occurrence of mass deaths of seabirds, the production of marine eagle and the number of seabirds hunted. The hunting catch sub-programme also collects data on hunted seals. From a long-term perspective, the status of seabird populations in the Baltic Sea has been influenced by the release of oil, the accumulation of environmental poisons, the spread of which into the archipelago, the previous collection of eggs, the death of birds in fishing gear and hunting. The conditions in the breeding or wintering areas outside the Baltic Sea also affect the numbers of birds in the Baltic Sea.
