Monitoring strategy description |
To date, the Republic of Croatia has not developed methods to monitor the state of the seabed under Descriptor 6 (MSFD). The European Commission (DG Environment) has established a technical group for seabed habitats and seabed integrity (TG Seabed) which aims to find a common methodology and way to assess the state of the seabed. No concrete methods and limits have yet been proposed to be used to assess the state of the seabed under this descriptor, and the technical group will continue to operate during 2020. Until a common methodology is found at the level of the European Community, the state of the seabed in the territorial waters of the Republic of Croatia will be determined on the basis of the state of associated habitats, ie benthic communities.
Monitoring of the state of the seabed in areas affected by fishing activities, in the channels between the islands and in the open sea, will be performed on the basis of research on the state of invertebrate communities inhabiting these areas, related to criteria D6C3, D6C4 and D6C5.
Monitoring of the state of the seabed at shallow depths in the coastal area will be performed on the basis of research on the condition of Posidonia oceanica meadows , related to criteria D6C3, D6C4 and D6C5. Monitoring of the seabed condition in the shallowest area of the rocky coast will be performed by examining the condition of macroalgal communities in the mediolittoral and in the upper infralittoral, related to criteria D6C3, D6C4 and D6C5. |

Programme description |
Until a common methodology for D6 is found at the level of the European Community, the state of the seabed in the territorial waters of the Republic of Croatia will be determined on the basis of the state of associated habitats, ie benthic communities. Monitoring of the state of the seabed in areas affected by fishing activities, in the channels between the islands and in the open sea, will be performed on the basis of research on the state of invertebrate communities inhabiting these areas, related to criteria D6C3, D6C4 and D6C5.Activities to monitor changes in the composition of benthic invertebrate communities include the collection of samples at 30 selected stations in the channels between the islands and in the open sea. The proposed stations are located on different types of substrates at depths up to 250 m. Monitoring will be performed once a year, in the summer period (June / July). Monitoring of invertebrate communities in areas affected by fishing
Activities will be carried out using a scientific bottom trawl net. Technical and design features of the bottom trawl: mesh size and mesh opening, and speed ship (3 NM) should be constant at all stations, with a haul duration of 30 minutes. Sampling is done during daylight. |

Monitoring of the state of the seabed at shallow depths in the coastal area will be performed on the basis of research on the condition of Posidonia oceanica meadows , related to criteria D6C3, D6C4 and D6C5. Posidonia oceanica meadows are consider to be habitats with highest diversity in Mediterranean Sea with important role in production of oxygen and organic matter and prevention of coastal erosion. Posidonia meadows are developed almost along entire Croatian coast and that is the reason way program of monitoring Posidonia oceanica will include stations along that area. Monitoring activities of Posidonia oceanica meadows include surveys at 45 stations in the coastal area, which are also included in the monitoring under the Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60 / EC). |
