| Integration rule description for parameters | 75% of all species abundance trends should stay within a 30% limit from the baseline (HELCOM core indicator for breeding bird species). 75% of all species abundance trends should stay within a 30% limit from the baseline. 75% of all species abundance trends should stay within a 30% limit from the baseline. The two indicators are integrated by averaging their ratios . HELCOM uses the HELCOM BEAT tool to integrate the two bird indicators: core indicators for breeding bird species and wintering bird species. Method description: http://stateofthebalticsea.[…]1-2016_pre-publication.pdf. In summary, 75% of all species abundance trends should stay within a 30% limit from the baseline. The two indicators are integrated by averaging their ratios . |
Good environmental status (GES) is assessed using 3 parameters of reproduction of the white-tailed eagles: breeding success, productivity and number of chicks. The assessment of the productivity of the white-tailed eagle is based on the principle: the result with the lowest rating determines the total score (OOAO) When a species abundance is assessed both in wintering and breeding season a OOAO principle is used e.g. the worst status of a given season determines the overall status of a species. |
So far, only criterion D1C2 has been assessed. Where possible and appropriate, the resting and breeding flocks shall be considered. These are used as parameters in the evaluation and will be integrated into On Out All Out.
|
A method for integrating criteria has not yet been adopted, nor has it been considered possible to integrate the condition in relation to populations of breeding and wintering birds of the same species.

| Integration rule description for criteria | Interim rule applied Interim rule applied. |
The criteria were assessed at the level of individual species. A species is in good condition if all criteria meet the relevant thresholds. At the level of the groups of species, the criteria are no longer taken into account.
To date, only criterion D1C2 has been assessed and for the other criteria indicators and/or monitoring have to be further developed. |
