The monitoring supports indicators which measure the distance to GES. The monitoring is sufficient to detect the natural variability. The monitoring of benthic fauna and flora is established; currently biotopes are being monitored through this monitoring. The Finnish underwater nature mapping program (VELMU) has mapped all benthic biotopes which serves as a baseline for monitoring of the remaining biotopes, which will be assessed by 2018 on the basis of this mapping.

As reported for Art. 9 and 10, the threshold values for GES are: The level of pressure of the fishing activity is not exceeding MSY-level, and the reproductive capacity of the fish populations is secured. Both sub-programmes under this programme are sufficient to produce data on target species populations which are under international regulation. The data, which is collected within the sub-programmes, gives reliable information on population dynamics caused by fishing and natural factors. The program provides information for the descriptor 3 (MSD-criteria 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3), and as for salmon, for the descriptor 1 (MSD criteria 1.2 and 1.3). The program also collects information on fishing pressure.

Fishery is widespread activity impacting primarily target fish stocks. It also affects other fish stocks, sea-birds and marine mammals due to by-catch. In Finnish waters there are no bottom touching fishing gears in use. Fishery data is collected via EU data collection framework and catch statistics by the fishermen from the whole region.

HELCOM Monitoring manual - Sub-programme: Marine breeding birds abundance and distribution - http://helcom.fi/action-areas/monitoring-and-assessment/monitoring-manual/birds/marine-breeding-birds-abundance-and-distribution/ Currently the whole counting network consists of 43 selected breeding areas situated in the archipelagos along the Finnish coast. About 20-30 of the areas are counted annually, but all areas are counted at least once every third year.
HELCOM Monitoring manual - Sub-programme: Marine wintering birds abundance and distribution - http://www.helcom.fi/action-areas/monitoring-and-assessment/monitoring-manual/birds/marine-wintering-birds-abundance-and-distribution
Mass mortalities of breeding sea birds are monitored in the vicinity of breeding colonies. Therefore the monitoring is focuses on islands and islets in coastal and territorial waters.

Q9c - Monitoring method
HELCOM Monitoring manual - Sub-programme: Marine breeding birds abundance and distribution - http://helcom.fi/action-areas/monitoring-and-assessment/monitoring-manual/birds/marine-breeding-birds-abundance-and-distribution/ Currently the whole counting network consists of 43 selected breeding areas situated along the Finnish coast. About 20-30 of the areas are counted annually, but all areas are counted at least once every third year.
HELCOM Monitoring manual - Sub-programme: Marine wintering birds abundance and distribution - http://www.helcom.fi/action-areas/monitoring-and-assessment/monitoring-manual/birds/marine-wintering-birds-abundance-and-distribution

Spawning Whitefish, migrating to rivers in September-October, are sampled from catches caught by local fishermen. Various fishing gear are used (e.g. net and fyke) to catch a few hundred individuals per river. The samplings take place 2-3 times during each spawning season.
Sea trout parr are caught by electro fishing, after which they are tagged and released. HELCOM Monitoring manual - Sub-programme: Migratory fish - http://www.helcom.fi/action-areas/monitoring-and-assessment/monitoring-manual/fish-fisheries-and-shellfish/migratory-fish

The level of contaminants (Hg, Cd, Cu, PAH, PCB, TBT) and the volume of dredged masses are measured as a part of monitoring of licensed activities along the Finnish coast. The volume of dredged masses are measured and the contaminant levels are determined by standard methods.The cumulative effects of selective exploitation of the seabed is also monitored within this sub-programme. Information on marine constructions and shipping is collected through licensing authorities and HELCOM.

Q9d - Description of alteration to method
Finland carries out all monitoring of seals by surveys from air crafts. Finland records occasional observations of Harbour Porposes to a HELCOM database (http://www.helcom.fi/baltic-sea-trends/data-maps/habitat/harbour-porpoise/)
Monitoring of shallow seabed habitats has been started in the Finnish underwater mapping program VELMU. The VELMU-program provides baseline habitat maps for the basis of future monitoring. The monitoring methods are described in the HELCOM Monitoring manual (see above).

Because the Baltic sea bird individuals belong to the same population, co-operation between the HELCOM states would be important. However, only a little co-operation has occurred in the Baltic Sea region so far .
Neighboring countries do not have this sub-programme
The only significant river spawning White Fish populations occur in the Bothnian Bay
