Description
Data is collected from The 2017 Annual Economic Report on the EU Fishing Fleet (STECF 2017). The presented data is for 2014, the same year as for all other sectors in the analysis. The production value refers to value of landings.
For NACE- code 1085 PRODCOM (Prodcom provides statistics on the production of manufactured goods) is used to identify goods that are defined as marine. For NACE-cod 4638 microdata from the SCB Company Database (FDB) is used to identify workplaces and associated companies that are marine.
The NACE-code for energy includes all type of energy. The offshore energy produces about 0,6 TWh/ year, which corresponds to about 0,4 % of the total energy production in Sweden. The net turnover from offshore energy is assessed as 0,4 % of the total net turnover for the total energy sector. This result in a value of 47 million Euro in net turnover for Swedish offshore energy in 2014. All Swedish off shore energy sites are located in the Baltic Sea.
All the reported NACE-code under this feature represent sectors that are partly marine. To identify these microdata consisting of individual workplaces and associated companies from the SCB Company Database (FDB) is used. FDB is a register of all companies, authorities, organizations and their workplaces in Sweden.
The economic data provided represent all economic activitie for each of the NACE-codes within 1 km from the coastline. For NACE- code 3230 PRODCOM (Prodcom provides statistics on the production of manufactured goods) is used to identify goods that are defined as marine. For NACE-cod 7721 microdata from the SCB Company Database (FDB) is used to identify workplaces and associated companies that are marine.
For NACE-cod 5229 microdata from the SCB Company Database (FDB) is used to identify workplaces and associated companies that are marine

Cost of degradation: description
Ecosystem analysis The ecosystem services analysis uses The Swedish ecosystem service classification which is based on Millenium Ecosystem Assemnet (2004) classification, adapted for the national marine waters of Sweden. The same classification were used in Sweden´s previous initial assessment (2012) and for the economic analysis in the program of measures (2016). The results of the analysis showed that many of the ecosystem services that fishing is dependent upon is less than good: S2 Primary production, S4 Biodiversity, R3 Eutrophication, R4 Biological status is assed to moderate and status for P1 Food, S5 Habitat, S3 Food is assed to bad. Hence, the flow of ecosystem services that fisheries are dependent on is limited compared to a scenario with god environmental status in the Swedish marine area.

The same classification were used in Sweden´s previous initial assessment (2012) and for the economic analysis in the program of measures (2016). The results of the analysis showed that many of the ecosystem services that marine tourism is dependent upon is less than good: S1 Recreation, S2 Aesthetic Value , S4 Cultural heritage, S6 Natural heritage is assed to moderate. Therefore there is a constraint for the marine tourism sector given by today statues of ecosystem services, assuming that their status will be good in a scenario when god environmental statues is achieved.

Cost of degradation for fisheries: 54 million euro per year in landing value The cost of limited flow of ecosystem services is assed using results from an Bio-economic model of European fleets presented in En rättvis fiskeuppgörelse för Sverige – Hur det svenska fisket kan förvaltas i allmänhetens intresse ( New Economics Foundation (2017). The results presented showed the value of fisheries in a scenario with good environmental status. For Swedish fisheries the landings would increase with 150 000 ton per year resulting in an increase in landing value of 130 million euro per year compared to 2014. The assessment is based on the assumption that the increase in landings have the same proportions between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea as it has been for the last five years ( 2011-2016).
Cost of degradation marine tourism sector: loss in producer surplus 409 million euro per year There is a cost of degradation for the marine tourism sector because of today’s statues of ecosystem services. This cost is analysed comparing the producer surplus of the sector with current statues of ecosystem services statues today, with a scenario with good environmental status. The analysis is based on assumptions from a study from Boston Consulting Group (2013) about the growth in the marine tourism sector in a scenario with good environmental status. The result are based on the assumption that the economic value will increase by the same proportion in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Cost of recreation for marine and costal recreation: 297-415 million euros The value of marine and costal recreation is assed in HOLAS II (HELCOM, 2018). The results are estimated using a travel cost approach, based on data from a standardized survey of households in all Baltic Sea countries (Czajkowski et al. 2015). The study includes all of the Swedish marine sea basins except for Skagerrak.
