| 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. |

Monitoring strategy description |
1. The monitoring covers all benthic habitat types varying observation frequency and sampling methods accordingly. The habitats are subject to impacts by eutrophication and abrasion caused by fisheries as well as impact by invasive specie (round goby). So, in addition to substrate considerations areas with known impact are specifically targeted by observation program.
2. The non-indigenous species, such as round goby, has a capacity to adversely affect benthic habitats. This monitoring sub-program will utilize information on hard bottom habitats obtained in monitoring sub-program LV-4.1.3. and information on distribution and abundance of round goby (sub-program LV-4.2.2.).
3. The habitat loss is estimated for each 6 year period based on anthropogenic activities that have capacity to permanently destroy benthic habitats.
4. Georeferenced data of fishing activities are acquired from fishermen.
5. The information from sub-program LV-4.6.2. will form basis to establish sampling station locations. Thereafter, samples for macrozoobenthic analyses will be taken.
6. The monitoring shall be in form of compilation and analyses of data acquired under other programs (e.g., LV-4.6.1.).
7. Soft-bottom benthic habitats are being surveyed annually.
8. Hard bottom habitats are being surveyed once in a 6 year period. |

8. Hard bottom habitats are being surveyed once in a 6 year period. |
1. The monitoring covers all benthic habitat types varying observation frequency and sampling methods accordingly. The habitats are subject to impacts by eutrophication and abrasion caused by fisheries as well as impact by invasive specie (round goby). So, in addition to substrate considerations areas with known impact are specifically targeted by observation program.
2. The non-indigenous species, such as round goby, has a capacity to adversely affect benthic habitats. This monitoring sub-program will utilize information on hard bottom habitats obtained in monitoring sub-program LV-4.1.3. and information on distribution and abundance of round goby (sub-program LV-4.2.2.).
3. The habitat loss is estimated for each 6 year period based on anthropogenic activities that have capacity to permanently destroy benthic habitats.
4. Georeferenced data of fishing activities are acquired from fishermen.
5. The information from sub-program LV-4.6.2. will form basis to establish sampling station locations. Thereafter, samples for macrozoobenthic analyses will be taken.

Programme description |
The purpose of the monitoring is to assess the ecological status of the Baltic Sea, including one of the environmental status indicators biodiversity by the determination of soft-bottom community characteristics as well as abundance (ind/m2) and biomass (g/m2) of soft-bottom benthic organisms and changes in these parameters. Purpose is to assess the impact on environment caused by eutrophication and other kinds of anthropogenic pressures in certain areas of the Baltic Sea.
Monitoring is carried out within the framework of the HELCOM monitoring program, in cooperation with the other Member States, but national strategies are not coordinated. HELCOM monitoring of this programme is partly coordinated common quality assurance programme is missed.
Corresponding HELCOM monitoring programme "Benthic Community Species Distribution and Abundance" and
sub-programme Softbottom fauna with HELCOM core indicator State of the soft-bottom macrofauna communities, Benthic quality index (BQI) which is used for the assessment of quality status of seabed habitats. Its use in the Baltic Sea region was boosted by implementation of the Water Framework Directive.
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.
Relevant legislative acts for the protection of sea habitats are Republic of Latvia Law On the Conservation of Species and Biotopes (16.03.2000) and Law On Specially Protected Nature Territories (02.03.1993) as amended. |
The purpose of the monitoring is to assess the ecological status of Baltic sea including one of the environmental status indicators state of the habitats affected by the non-indigenous species (NIS) as well as changes in the ecological status of the habitats by observing the proportion of the species group and spatial extent of the soft-bottom seabed habitats which are adversely altered due to naturalized NIS.
Corresponding HELCOM monitoring programme Non-Indigenous Species and
sub-programme Non-Indigenous Species.
Biological monitoring is conducted based on HELCOM COMBINE manual. The HELCOM core indicators directly linked to the sub-programme are still at a pre-core indicator stage of development. Creating specifications for monitoring requirements is a part of the development work of the indicators.
Proportion of the species group and spatial extent of the broad habitat type which is adversely altered due to non-indigenous species is estimated based on the monitoring data collected by the observations in soft-bottom seabed habitats described in the monitoring programme LV-4.6.5.1.

Monitoring details |
Observations are made at fixed stations, the coordinates of which have been determined in advance.
Sampling of the soft bottom zoobenthos is performed using standard Van Veen grab with 3 parallel samples in each station; corresponding values are calculated as average from all 3 parallel samples. Sampling is performed once in every year, in May.
The composition and biomass of the soft-bottom zoobenthos species are determined according to the Manual for Marine Monitoring in the COMBINE Programme of HELCOM" in Guidelines relating to the specific parameter in this Manual (Annex C8 Soft bottom macrozoobenthos).
This method is suitable for the qualitative and quantitative determination of macrozoobenthos organisms of natural waterbodies.
or monitoring of benthic macroalgae on solid substrate observations are carried out within two steps: video surveillance and sampling for further analysis. Video surveillance is performed with a drop-down video camera, producing a video from each station. Observations of physical and chemical characteristics of habitats, such as CTD profile measurements, Secchi, chlorophyll a concentration, turbidity, are carried out in parallel.
Sampling is carried out by diver by scraping organisms from a determined surface area. The composition and biomass of the hard-bottom zoobenthos species are determined according to the Manual for Marine Monitoring in the COMBINE Programme of HELCOM" - in Guidelines relating to the specific parameter in this Manual (Annex C-9 Guidelines for monitoring of phytobenthic plant and animal communities in the Baltic Sea).
Sampling is performed in July-August, once in a 6 years. |
Based on the monitoring data obtained as described here below once in a report period (6 years) the proportion of the species group and spatial extent of the broad habitat type which is adversely altered due to non-indigenous species is evaluated.
Observations of soft-bottom habitats are made at fixed stations, the coordinates of which have been determined in advance.

Information on anthropogenic activities (construction or reconstruction of harbour moles, etc.) at sea resulting in a physical loss of the natural seabed is gathered every 6 years. The aggregated information contain the spatial distribution of physical loss of the seabed and the spatially distinguishable extent of this physical loss. |
Georeferenced information about fishing activities at sea with bottom-contacting gears bottom trawls etc. is gathered every year. The aggregated information contain data about fishing activities, type of fishing gear used, frequency and fishing area. Data are obtained from the commercial fishing logbooks, satellite-tracking systems (VMS). Spatial projections of the data on the map, describing the fishing effort, are constructed. |
This kind of monitoring will be performed in the regions where according to the data compiled in the monitoring sub-programme LV-4.6.2. in the previous period of 3 years were identified fishery activities with bottom trawls and other bottom-contacting fishing gears possibly caused physical disturbance of seabed. Based on the identified affected areas and extent of physical disturbance network of the monitoring points will be set which will be unique for each monitoring case because it will be adjusted to the previous fishery activities.
In each network point sampling of the soft-bottom zoobenthos will be performed using standard Van Veen grab. The composition and biomass of the soft-bottom zoobenthos species will be determined according to the Manual for Marine Monitoring in the COMBINE Programme of HELCOM" and in Guidelines relating to the specific parameter in this Manual. |
