Surveillance monitoring of the outflow water from industry and power plants. Sampling sites are located on the coast of all sub-basins.
Monitoring of changes in salinity and water flow is carried out by surveillance monitoring by industry and power plants as well as impact assessments of various construction projects at sea.

Q9c - Monitoring method
Water temperature is measured from the outflow pipe and in the surrounding area of land based industries. The sub-program includes monitoring of temperature impacts on macrophytes and macrozoobenthos. As this is a surveillance monitoring the detailed monitoring method is laid out in the license.
The sub-program includes monitoring of changes in salinity and water flow (current velocity) in outflow waters of industrial power plants as well as in the water affected by underwater constructions (eg. wind parks, dams, bridges). The methods follow the Finnish accredited standards but details may vary depending on the operator.

Monitoring strategy description
Hydrographic changes refer to anthropogenic changes in water flow, salinity, wave formation and temperature. The programme monitors pressure factors that cause local hydrographic changes to the sea temperature and salinity, such as the heat load from nuclear and thermal power plants and its catchment area, as well as activities affecting water flows and salinity (e.g. impoundment, terrace). Some of the information collected also serves the Energy Programme, including underwater noise. The programme is divided into two sub-programmes: Significant changes in temperature conditions and significant changes in salinity conditions and flows. The programme covers descriptors 7 (criteria D7C1 and D7C2) and 11 and pressure ‘changes in hydrological conditions’. The second pressure associated with this descriptor (due to permanent alteration of the seabed substrate or morphology or exploitation of the seabed substrate) is dealt with in the context of the seabed integrity (Descriptor 6).

Water temperature is measured from the outflow pipe and in the surrounding area of land based industries. The sub-program includes monitoring of temperature impacts on macrophytes and macrozoobenthos. As this is a surveillance monitoring the detailed monitoring method is laid out in the license.

The sub-program includes monitoring of changes in salinity and water flow (current velocity) in outflow waters of industrial power plants as well as in the water affected by underwater constructions (eg. wind parks, dams, bridges). The methods follow the Finnish accredited standards but details may vary depending on the operator.
