Q5f - Description of programme for GES assessment | There is a linkage between sub-programmes and descriptors provided in monitoring programme. However, the monitoring programme at present stage is incomplete due to lack of knowledge and correspondingly insufficient number of available indicators. At this time there is no or only very few indicators for descriptors 1, 4 and 6. Some ongoing work will result in HELCOM CORE set indicators for biodiversity that would be used for D1. However, indicator description is not yet finished. Therefore, it is not possible to assess how well adopted monitoring programme will contribute to assessment needs by use of developed indicators. Consequently, the need to amend monitoring programme is already foreseen. |

Q6d - Description of programme for targets assessment | The monitoring programme is incomplete at the present stage due to lack of knowledge and severe limitation in indicator availability. The indicators are lacking as well as system/tool to aggregate the indicator-based assessments so that the overall progress towards targets could be assessed.
Question 6a:The assessment system that agregates indicators to assess targets is not developped yet. The target values are elaborated for separate indicators. Information on that can be found in document elaborated for Initial assessment (www.lhei.lv/docs/2012/Juras_derektiva_C.pdf) |

Q7b - Description of monitoring of activities | • The land-based pressure monitoring is addressed in the frame of Water framework directive.
• Atmospheric depositions of nutrients and selected contaminants are addressed on regional level through cooperation in HELCOM frame. The actual calculations are performed by EMEP and presented for the whole regional in form of maps.
• The ship traffic intensity as well as oil pollution by ships is addressed in form of regional cooperation in HELCOM. Oil spill maps are regularly updated and published on HELCOM web page covering whole region.
• Fishing pressure is addressed in the frame of CFP.
• The physical impact by port activities (dumping of dredged material, maintenance of port facilities) and potentially impact by construction of other infrastructure is and will be addressed locally in frame of Impact assessment procedure and following operator monitoring.
• The marine litter will be addressed on regional scale. Currently HELCOM Marine litter action plan, that will include also suggestions on monitoring, is in elaboration stage.
• Noise is not addressed at present. |

Monitoring strategy description |
The monitoring addresses status of coastal fish population. Two distinct features - key fish species and abundance of functional groups are used to characterize status of fish population. |

Programme description |
The purpose of the monitoring is to assess the ecological status of the Baltic Sea, including one of the environmental status components biodiversity by observing current state and changes in coastal fish community resulting from impact of eutrophication, habitat changes, climate change, exposure to toxic substances, presence of non-indigenous species and human activities e.g. fishing.
The monitoring of fish and shellfish cover the abundance, distribution, growth, population dynamics and exploitation of fish in the HELCOM area. Much of the programme is carried out under the auspices of ICES.
Monitoring is carried out by national monitoring programmes and data are collated through HELCOM. HELCOM monitoring of this programme is fully coordinated.
HELCOM monitoring programme topic "Fish, Fisheries and Shellfish; programme "Coastal fish" with key indicator Abundance of key fish species.
Core indicators are calculated according to the HELCOM core indicator report: which is available: https://helcom.fi/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Abundance-of-key-coastal-fish-species-HELCOM-core-indicator-2018.pdf.
The requirements for the marine waters of Latvia and the relationship of the specified environmental objectives with the qualitative characteristics characterizing the state of the marine environment are included in Regulation of the Cabinet of Ministers of Republic of Latvia No. 1071 of 23 November 2010, Requirements for the Assessment of the State of the Marine Environment, the Determination of Good Environmental State of the Sea and Development of Marine Environmental Goals.
Corresponding legislative acts of the Republic of Latvia concerning fisheries:
Fishery Law (adopted 12.04.1995.) and
Republic of Latvia Cabinet Regulation No. 296, adopted 2 May 2007 Regulations Regarding Commercial Fishing in Territorial Waters and Economic Zone Waters. |

Monitoring details |
Collecting of data is carried out within the framework of the Latvian National Fisheries and Aquaculture Data Collection Work Plan which is prepared in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/909 and Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/910.
Data are obtained by sampling according to the Guidelines for Coastal Fish Monitoring Sampling Methods of HELCOM in the coastal waters of Latvia (depth of 3.5 m) using the Nordic coastal type nets 45 metres long net constructions consisting of several panels with different mesh sizes.
Data are collected according to the BIOR Guidelines for coastal monitoring.
Monitoring is carried out annually in seven coastal areas of Gulf of Riga and Baltic sea in the period from February to December.
Key species perch (Perca fluviatilis) and flounder (Platichthys flesus).
Together with fishing measurements of water temperature, salinity, Secchi depth are performed. |
