Q5f - Description of programme for GES assessment | 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. |
The monitoring supports indicators which measure the distance to GES. The monitoring is sufficient to detect the natural variability. |
Eutrophication monitoring provides quantitative data to Eutrophication indicators which have quantitative GES boundaries. HELCOM Eutrophication indicators: http://helcom.fi/baltic-sea-trends/eutrophication/indicators/

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. |

Programme description |
The sub-programme monitors the state of the basic chemical properties of the water column in the Baltic Sea and their changes. Surveillance is carried out in Finlandâs exclusive economic zone (EEZ), both offshore and coastal areas. Monitoring also includes stations in Swedish, Estonian and Russian waters.
|
The sub-programme monitors the discharge of nutrients, solids and organic matter from the catchment area into the sea, as well as nitrogen deposition. They end up in the sea by deposition, with rivers and â as direct point pollution â from urban waste water treatment plants, industrial plants...

Program monitors phytoplankton blooms by monitoring pigments. Program produces information on consequences of eutrophication |

Quality control |
The offshore monitoring parameters (research vessels and Alg@line), with the exception of pCO2, comply with the standard for testing laboratories (SFS-EN ISO/IEC 17025) and are determined by the FINAS-accredited Environment Testing Laboratory (FIN-T003).
|
Both sampling and laboratory analyses are quality assurance activities carried out by staff trained according to the standards and guidelines in force (Kuunen et al. 2008). The air deposition model is produced by EMEP and the annual report reflects the modelâs validation and uncertainty.
|
Fluorometers are calibrated annually in laboratory against standards. Analysis procedure is audited annually by FINAS laboratory accreditation |
