Monitoring strategy description |
The subscription and implementation of existing regulations and conventions is an important prerequisite.
An assessment of the trend in the presence of non-native species in the Baltic Sea is intended to demonstrate whether measures are in place to minimise the introduction of such species. While data collection as part of biological monitoring (macrophytes, macrozoobenthos, phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish) was initially used, a monitoring programme for non-native species has been in place since 2009.
Selected marinas and ports will be screened for the presence of non-native species as hotspots with a rapid recording programme. For example, the Federal Office for Nature Conservation and the coastal Länder of Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania operate in selected locations derived from the project-based baseline surveys. Since 2016, advanced rapid coverage (eRAS

Arter der via menneskelige aktiviteter er indført til områder, hvor de ikke findes naturligt, og hvortil de ikke naturligt kan spredes, kaldes ikkehjemmehørende arter. Disse arter omfatter både planter og dyr og findes i alle havområder, dog hovedsageligt i kystvandene, hvor de oftest tilføres. Skibsfart (via ballastvand og begroning) og akvakultur anses som de væsentligste kilder til indførsel af ikkehjemmehørende arter i havet. Fiskeri- og lystfartøjer mv. menes også at være kilder til introduktion af ikkehjemmehørende arter.
Introduktion af ikkehjemmehørende arter indebærer risiko for, at arter etableres, spredes og optræder på en sådan måde, at de ændrer økosystemets naturlige balance og funktion i en negativ retning – i så fald betegnes de invasive arter. Når en ikkehjemmehørende art er etableret i det marine miljø, er den næsten umulig at udrydde, hvorfor forebyggelse eller tidlige indsatser er de mest omkostningseffektive midler i forhold til begrænsning af ikkehjemmehørende og potentielt invasive arter. Formålet med overvågningen af ikkehjemmehørende arter er at tilvejebringe det fornødne grundlag for at kunne vurdere indførelsen af ikkehjemmehørende arter via menneskelige aktiviteter, samt at bestemme udbredelsen og effekter af invasive arter.
Overvågningsprogrammet har til formål at sikre, at miljøtilstanden, som den er defineret i basisanalysen for Danmarks Havstrategi II, løbende kan følges i de danske havområder. Overvågningsprogrammet og basisanalyserne skal sammen danne grundlag for udarbejdelsen af de indsatsprogrammer, der skal sikre opfyldelse af miljømålene. Overvågningen vil endvidere føre til en vurdering af indsatsprogrammets foranstaltninger i forhold til opnåelse eller opretholdelse af god miljøtilstand. Overvågningsprogrammet er således tilrettelagt for at vurdere fremskridt i forhold til GES, miljømål og indsatser.

The aim of the monitoring strategy "SD2 - Non-indigenous species" is to assess the introduction and status of non-indigenous species in the pelagic and benthic realm through collection of data on their occurrence, abundance/biomass, distribution and ecological impacts. The monitoring is aimed at characterising the anthropogenic pressure and associated impacts, but the gathered data and information also allows to characterise the state of the marine environment. As shipping (ballast water and sediments) is the major introduction vector for marine non-indigenous species, monitoring is established in major ports and adjacent areas to them. Monitoring includes phytoplankton, zooplankton, phytobenthos, zoobenthos and fish. In addition, species-specific monitoring covers a few most invasive non-indigenous species, such as the round goby Neogobius melanostomus, Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis and Harris mud crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii. Data from the following monitoring programmes are exploited in this monitoring strategy: "Non-indigenous species – harbours and adjacent regions", "Non-indigenous species – abundance and biomass", "Phytoplankton species composition, abundance and biomass", "Zooplankton species composition, abundance and biomass", "Macrozoobenthos", "Phytobenthic communities", "Coastal fish" and "Off-shore fish". The main anthropogenic activities and associated pressures are dealt with in the programme "Marine and coastal activities". |

The programme monitors alien species that enter and have arrived in Finlandâs sea basin and aims to identify the origin of the alien species and the way in which they arrive. There is only one sub-programme for the collection of alien species information on ports. In addition, all other biological monitoring programmes (in particular seabed and plankton monitoring) will support this programme.

1.The monitoring aims to detect input of new non-indigenous species. Accordingly, observations and sampling is carried out in port areas.
2. Two non-indigenous species, China mitten crab and round goby, are targeted by this sub-program. Wide spectrum of methods, including sampling and analyses of planktonic phase, collaboration with fishermen and public monitoring, are being utilized to chracterize distribution and abundance of these species. |

The goal of the Strategy is to provide information for assessments of the status of marine waters with regard to non-indigenous species. The information is gathered within monitoring programmes established within strategies for Descriptors D1 and D6 for all ecosystem groups, as outlined in the Commission Decision (EU) 2017/848 of 17 May 2017.
Information on established and newly introduced non-indigenous species gathered within the strategy will provide information for assessments of the status of marine waters especially with regard to environmental targets and implemented measures to achieve good environmental status of marine waters. |

"IInternational co-operation within the UN Convention on Biological Diversity and the Ballast Water Management Convention is of great importance for the work in Sweden regarding monitoring and management of marine non-indigenous species (NIS). Sweden participates in this mainly through regional coordination within Helcom and Ospar for the development and application of appropriate monitoring methods for early detection of NIS as well as warning to other countries' authorities. Within a national collaboration between the Swedish Transport Agency, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (SwAM) the relations and roles is well defined.
Lists of alien species have been produced nationally, regionally and on an EU-level, based on their risk of adverse effects, such as the Target species list for ballast water exemptions. In Sweden, a risk list has been produced by the SLU Swedish Species Information Centre (Strand et al. 2018). The risk list provides guidance on which species are invasive in Sweden and therefore should be prioritized in monitoring and assessment, but also in measures. For aquatic NIS, SwAM has also produced a focus list with species already established, or with the risk of being introduced. The purpose of the focus list is to encourage researchers and agencies carrying out biological monitoring to report NIS to SwAM to improve the dataflow from early detection and spread of already established species and thus bring about effective measures. The list in 2020 consists of a total of 57 species, of which 24 are marine or eustarine and of these, 13 are door knocker species.
Pathways of introductions of NIS have been examined both nationally and in Helcom and Ospar. This has led to measures being implemented within the Ballast Water Management Convention and International Maritime Organization to reduce the load from namely ballast water and biofouling. This has also led to a project in which hotspots for introductions of NIS were identified, based on pathways analysis. These hotspots indicates which premises the monitoring should take place in , in order to effectively detect new introductions. NIS is also monitored in areas with nuclear power plants as well as from pulp and paper industry with extensive cooling water discharge which also helps to predict risk of introduction and establishment due to climate change.

Gaps and plans |
The national neobiota monitoring shall be based on criterion D2C1. The transition from temporary project-based studies to a long-term and financially secured approach for part of the neobiota monitoring is currently taking place. Further methodological developments, such as the use of eDNA records, will be taken into account in the future, so that the monitoring programme will be adapted if necessary. By 2024 at the latest, the methods for monitoring the measures should be optimised.
The Neobiota North Sea and Baltic Sea platform will collate and evaluate all data collected on non-native species. It is established in the long term and will be part of the national early warning system.
As shown above, the current data collections are a good basis for D2C1. Monitoring has not yet been established for D2C2 and D2C3 as indicators and thresholds need to be further developed at regional and national level.

Potential pathways of introduction as Sillamäe and Paldiski harbours, leisure craft (hull fouling) and aquaculture are not covered by monitoring yet. There is no regular monitoring of certain groups of non-indigenous species (microorganisms and parasites), but done by research projects. The frequency of zooplankton monitoring is low. The same applies to phytoplankton in case of monitoring of phytoplankton non-indigenous species. The monitoring of mobile epifauna (demersal fish, marine invertebrates) needs to be extended. |

"In order for future assessments to be more accurate, they need to be based on data with better geographical coverage. Starting 2020 monitoring of hotspots generated using a newly developed model (Bergkvist et al. 2020) will be carried out.
The model identified areas that consist of ports and marinas on the west coast, in the Sound (the Danish–Swedish border) and in the Baltic Proper. However, it turns out that the risk of hotspots is much lower in the Gulf of Bothnia. Before the station network changes, the next step will be to carry out a modelling of the risk of limnic species being introduced in the Gulf of Bothnia, to see how it affects the selection of hotspots.
By further developing the ongoing citizen science where the public reports sightings of alien species, there is great potential for data of higher quality, mainly regarding accuracy and reliability. A validation system to secure data is being developed through collaboration with the Swedish EPA, the County administrative boards and the SLU Swedish Species Information Centre. In addition, technical support has been launched for validation of reports and with alarm functions that facilitate rapid measures as response to reports of introductions.
Using eDNA for monitoring has been tested and are further developed in several ongoing national funded research projects and research networks, with the aim to promote cooperation between environmental monitoring and research that favours the development and use of quality-assured DNA methods for monitoring and environmental analysis. The Swedish research also collaborate with the European network DNAqua-net.
At present, there is no established concept of method for monitoring the impact on native species and habitats from NIS, but in connection with the development of monitoring of introductions of NIS, Sweden is also reviewing the developments in research and monitoring projects in other countries where impacts of NIS are monitored." |

Registrering af ikkehjemmehørende arter under det marine delprogram i NOVANA - Ikke-hjemmehørende arter bliver noteret som en tillægsinformation ved direkte visuel observation under de marine delprogrammer omfattende fytoplankton, zooplankton, makroalger og anden vegetation samt fauna på blødbund, sandbund og hårdbund.
Indsamling og analyse af vandprøver ved miljøDNA til detektion af ikkehjemmehørende arter. Prøver indsamles under ovennævnte delprogrammer ved 33 stationer, hvoraf 16 stationer prøvetages 2 gange årligt (forår og efterår). De analyserede miljøDNA prøver bliver brugt til at bestemme udbredelsen og registrere forekomster af kendte ikke hjemmehørende arter. Det er den arts-specifikke miljøDNA metode der anvendes, og det er således ikke en total screening af forekomsten af nye og ukendte ikkehjemmehørende arter, men udelukkende de arter, der i forvejen er udviklet specifikke detektionssystemer for. Der er i øjeblikket udviklet specifikke detektionssystemer for 22 ikkehjemmehørende arter med planer for udviklede af yderligt 1-2 detektionssystemer årligt fremadrettet.
|
Overvågning af ikkehjemmehørende arter, sandsynligvis ved miljøDNA, i hot spots/havne, hvor der er høj risiko for at nye ikkehjemmehørende arter bliver introduceret ved skibsfart, som anses for at være den vigtigste sprednings-vektor. Prøveindsamlingen udføres i 6 havne hvert andet år i både forår og efterår i hele programperioden.

The aim of the monitoring programme is to collect data on human activities that directly or indirectly impact the marine environment. The monitored human activities are those listed in the MSFD Annex III Table 2b (2017/845/EC) and relevant for point (c) of Article 8(1), and Articles 10 and 13. The following activities are covered: Coastal defence and flood protection; Offshore structures (other than for oil/gas/renewables); Restructuring of seabed morphology, including dredging and depositing of materials; Extraction of minerals; Extraction of oil and gas, including infrastructure; Extraction of water; Renewable energy generation (wind, wave and tidal power), including infrastructure; Transmission of electricity and communications (cables); Fish harvesting (professional, recreational); Fish and shellfish processing; Marine plant harvesting; Hunting and collecting for other purposes; Aquaculture — marine, including infrastructure; Transport infrastructure; Transport — shipping; Waste treatment and disposal; Tourism and leisure infrastructure; Tourism and leisure activities; Military operations and Research, survey and educational activities. Data are gathered at least once during a six-year assessment period, but in some cases also annually. The system of such data collection activities is still under development.
The programme corresponds to the following monitoring programmes in the indicative list: Activities extracting living resources (fisheries including recreational, marine plant harvesting, hunting and collecting); Activities extracting non-living resources (sand, gravel, dredging); Activities producing food (aquaculture); Activities with permanent infrastructures (e.g. renewable energy, oil & gas, ports) or structural changes (e.g. coastal defences); Sea-based mobile activities (shipping, boating); Coastal human activities (e.g. tourism, recreational sports, ecotourism).
The programme is the further development of the programme presented in 2014. The code of the programme also changed. |
The aim of the programme is to monitor the status of the coastal fish species and communities (Species composition of the group; Size, age and sex structure; fecundity, survival and mortality/injury rates; Habitat for the species (extent, suitability); Species abundance (numbers of individuals and/or biomass)). It provides data to monitoring strategy “SD1.4 Biodiversity – Fish”, „SD3–Commercially exploited fish“ and “SD4/SD1 Food webs / Biodiversity – ecosystems”, but also to “SD2– Non-indigenous species”. The program is regionally coordinated by HELCOM (partially also by ICES) and the HELCOM monitoring manual is followed. During the annual monitoring programme, all coastal fish species are included in the dataset, but special attention is directed towards economically significant or ecologically relevant key species (perch, flounder, pikeperch). Atlantic salmon is used as an indicator species for migratory (anadromous) fishes and is monitored in coastal waters and selected rivers (salmonid habitats). Monitoring of protected fish species under HD needs to be developed for the sea area as well.
The programme was modified from 2014 by adding migratory fishes that were as a separate sub-programme in 2014.
The programme corresponds to following monitoring programmes in the indicative list: Mobile species – distribution, abundance and/or biomass; Mobile species – population characteristics; Mobile species – mortality/injury rates from fisheries (targeted and/or incidental). |

It provides data to monitoring strategy “SD5 – Eutrophication”, as well as “SD1.6 Biodiversity – pelagic habitats”, “SD4/SD1 Food webs / Biodiversity – ecosystems” and “SD2– Non-indigenous species”. The programme is related to GES Descriptor D5, Criterion D5C2, Descriptor D1, Criterion D1C6 and Descriptor D4, Criterion D4C1. Data are gathered to assess spatial variability, temporal trends and environmental status in coastal water bodies and off-shore sub-basins of the Baltic Sea (HELCOM divisions) in response to pressure levels. Monitoring is conducted yearly or at least once in six years with a frequency of 5 to 12 times a year at the designated monitoring stations (at least 3 stations in each coastal water body and 11 in the Estonian off-shore areas). The program is regionally coordinated via HELCOM and the HELCOM monitoring manual is followed. Data are yearly reported to the national environmental monitoring database KESE (by 1 March) and ICES (HELCOM Combine). The threshold values for the indicator of seasonal succession of dominating phytoplankton groups are still missing for some assessment units of the Baltic Sea (incl. Estonian marine area), mainly due to the lack of data corresponding to the set criteria.
The programme is essentially the same as in 2014, only minor changes in some monitoring stations and frequencies were undertaken.

The programme is related to GES Descriptors D1, Criterion D1C6, Description D2 Criterions D2C1 and D2C2 and Descriptor D4 Criterion D4C2. Data are gathered to assess the state of the marine environment and environmental status in three coastal water bodies and all off-shore sub-basins of the Baltic Sea (HELCOM sub-divisions) as well as pressures from/by non-indigenous species. Monitoring is conducted yearly with a frequency 10 times a year at the designated coastal monitoring stations (3 stations in each coastal water body) and with frequency twice a year for 16 stations in the Estonian off-shore areas. The program is regionally coordinated via HELCOM and the HELCOM guidelines are followed. Data are yearly reported to the national environmental monitoring database KESE (by 1 March) and ICES (HELCOM Combine). Mesozooplankton Mean Size Total Stock indicator is developed by HELCOM on the basis of mesozooplankton data. The threshold values for the indicator have been internationally agreed for some sub-basins, but not for the Gulf of Riga yet.

A nuclear power plant affects the marine environment mainly through the use of large volumes of seawater for cooling. The cooling water is purified at the intake, which to some extent reduces the loss of organisms that would otherwise accompany the intake, but for those who follow, mortality occurs mechanically and thermally when the water passes through the power plant. The outgoing cooling water is 10° C warmer than the water taken in. The hot water is then spread over relatively large areas, where the organisms can be affected. The warm water can also make it easier for non-indigenous species to get established than in other areas.
To control the effects of cooling water use, extensive control programmes have been established at and around the Swedish nuclear power plants since the nuclear power plants were established. In Sweden, there are nuclear power plants at one site in the North Sea (Ringhals nuclear power plant) and two in the Baltic Sea (Forsmark nuclear power plant and Oskarshamnsverket). Electricity production at the power plant in Barsebäck by the Sound ceased in 2005.
Monitoring in the North sea started in 1968 and in the Baltic sea in 1969. Monitoring frequency varies from daily during spring/summer, to monthly or yearly depending on the parameter, location and purpose. Details are described in the monitoring fact sheet linked below.
The nuclear power plants are undergoing a slow decommissioning, for example at Ringhals, two out of four reactors are planned to be shut down in the near future. As the monitoring is connected to the industry, it will also in the long run be phased out after the activity has ended and the effects have ceased. |
New species have been introduced to Sweden with the help of humans for a long time. Shipping is identified as one of the most significant activities behind the introduction of NIS in that species accompany boats either as growth (biofouling) on the hull or in the ship's ballast water, but introductions can also take place through release or spreading through reproduction or migration.
The purpose of Sweden's and the EU's work with alien species is to prevent introduction, limit spread and prevent damage due to NIS. The purpose is also to implement the Ballast Water Convention, which prevents foreign organisms from spreading with ballast water. Sweden participates in this mainly through regional coordination within the sea areas for the development and application of appropriate monitoring methods in order to be able to detect alien species and harmful organisms at an early stage and to be able to warn the authorities of other countries. In order for the damage to be effectively minimized, measures must primarily be preventive. By monitoring new introductions of alien species, early detection and rapid measures are enabled in a cost-effective manner.
A total of 20 sampling stations have been selected using a risk model for the introduction of marine species. The areas that fell out with the greatest risk, so-called hotspots, are all along the west coast or in the Baltic Proper. Monitoring will be carried out through a recurring sampling at the 20 stations during a six-year management cycle. Coordination with other environmental monitoring is planned for effective implementation. Although the Gulf of Bothnia was not identified by the model as a hot spot, there are plans to add monitoring there based on risk modeling with a focus on freshwater species.
Complementary genetic methods are being developed. For example, Sweden is one of the partners in the Complete project, which was launched in October 2017. The aim is to minimize the introduction of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens by developing a consistent and adaptive management system for the Baltic Sea Region. Complete reports its results to the EU but also to HELCOM, where there is collaboration in managing alien species in shipping. Another example is the international network ARMS (Programme Europe), which aims to identify alien species and their spread to European waters through long-term monitoring of the biodiversity of the hard bottom community. Swedish experts are part of ARMS through the In |
In order to strengthen the targeted monitoring of alien species, data on new introductions and spread of alien species are also collected through citizen science, where e.g. the public, researchers and fishermen can report their findings of alien species.
According to the EU Invasive Alien Species Regulation (IAS), countries should set up mechanisms for the exchange of information and data, early warning systems and programs to increase public awareness and knowledge of IAS. An early warning is a prerequisite for being able to implement effective management measures for IAS. Citizen science is gaining a stronger position as a method for data collection where traditional monitoring, surveys or research do not capture early changes in the environment or where traditional methods are too costly to have a large geographical coverage or provide too little data. One weakness, however, is that the methods can be difficult to quality assure or that the information can give a skewed geographical picture because it depends on where people usually stay.
In the sea, Neogobius melanostomus, Eriocheir sinensis, Hemigrapsus sanguineus and Hemigrapsus takanoi are good examples where citizen science has been crucial for early detection and also facilitated rapid measures. |

Fische (soweit es in bestimmten Reusen mit Ködern gefangen wird) und pathogene Keime. |
Data on all coastal fish species are being collected annually in discrete monitoring areas within the national fisheries data collection programme (https://www.envir.ee/et/eesmargid-tegevused/kalandus/kalanduse-riiklik-andmekoguminen-programm-akp). |
For monitoring offshore fish species the hydro-acoustic surveys and scientific trawlings are carried out. In addition, ICES coordinated cruises (BIAS, BITS) are carried out and the data are submitted to the ICES database. |
Phytoplankton samples are collected with a bathometer at water depths of 1, 5 and 10 m together with samples of seawater chlorophyll a. An integrated sample is made pooling equal amounts of water collected from fixed depths. When the integrated sample is thoroughly mixed, a portion is poured into a clear glass bottle and fixed with preservation chemical for further transport, storage and analysis of the phytoplankton sample. As part of the Ferrybox monitoring, samples are collected with an automatic sampler from depths of 4-5 m from a predefined location on the route of the liner. Phytoplankton is analysed according to the relevant international standard methods (EN 16695: 2015, HELCOM Monitoring Manual).
In 3 coastal water bodies sampling is carried out annually 10-12 times per year (from April to October), Haapsalu coastal waterbody - 10-12 times every third year. Other coastal water bodies are monitored in rotation 6 times per year (from June to September) at least once during a 6-year period. In the off-shore areas the research vessel-based monitoring is conducted 5 times per year (from April to October) and 12 times every year in frames of Ferrybox monitoring. |
The samples are collected by means of vertical hauls using a Juday or WP-2 net with 0,1 mm mesh size. The collected samples are preserved in a formaldehyde solution to microscopic analysis to be performed in a laboratory. |
The presence of species, total coverage and maximum distribution depth are registered during visual observations or using underwater video remote observation method. In the monitoring site, the total coverage of phytobenthos, species presence and their coverage, as well as sediment type are observed. Quantitative samples are collected by a diver with the 20x20 metal frame (in triplicate) and deep-freezed for laboratory analysis. In the laboratory, the species composition and dry weight of each species per 1m2 are determined. In frames of coastal waters monitoring, the total nitrogen, total phosphorus (6x per year) and PAR and water temperature are also registered (continuous measurements during 3-month period) in each monitoring area as supplementary information. |
Macrozoobenthos samples are collected once a year in off-shore areas and designated coastal waters and in rotation at least once in a 6-year period from other coastal waters. Van Veen or Ekman type grab samplers are used for sampling. The sediment type, concentration of dissolved oxygen in the near-bottom layer, concentration of H2S, water temperature and salinity are registered as supplementary information at the sampling site. Every sample is collected in triplicate and frozen for laboratory analyse. In the laboratory, the species composition, abundance of species and dry weight of every species (per 1 m2) is determined.
For observation of maximum depth distribution of Limecola balthica, three designated transects are monitored in the open-sea area; samples (one sample per each depth point) are taken in accordance with the transect depth gradient. |
The phytoplankton, mesozooplankton, zoobenthos, fouling, mobile epifauna and fish monitoring samples are collected in accordance with HELCOM and HELCOM/OSPAR guidelines from two ports and three adjacent areas. Information on NIS occurrence is also gathered from all biological monitoring stations. |
Most of the data and information used originate from other monitoring strategies and programmes. Information on NIS occurrence is gathered from all biological monitoring stations. |
Essential information describing this national sub-programme is available in the HELCOM COMBINE manual: http://www.helcom.fi/action-areas/monitoring-and-assessment/monitoring-manual/benthic-community-species-distribution-and-abundance/softbottom-fauna. |

Observations are made at fixed stations, the coordinates of which have been determined in advance in 3 largest ports of Latvia Liepāja, Ventspils and RD+ga. Frequency of sampling 3 times in 6 years twice in a year during spring and summer seasons, in a phytoplankton bloom maximum period. Methods according to the HELCOM/OSPAR Port Survey Protocol.
- Hydrobiological parameters determined:
- - Abundance, species composition and biomass of phytoplankton, zooplankton and zoobenthos organisms (details see in the sections LV-4.1.2., LV-4.1.3. and LV-4.1.4.);
- - mobile epifauna (sampling with pots (for crabs), by scraping from constructions and sedimentation plates)
- Physical and chemical parameters determined in the water column:
- - CTD probe (temperature, salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen), Secchi depth, chlorophyll a (details see in the sections LV-4.5.2., LV-4.5.4. and LV-4.5.5.);
- -Chemical parameters determined in the near-bottom layer (details see in the sections LV-4.5.4. and LV-4.5.5.:
temperature, salinity, oxygen saturation.
- Human pathogens:
Intestinal enterococci, Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholera (testing according to the EN ISO methods: 7899-1 or7899-2, 9308-1 or 9308-3, no standard method for Vibrio cholera yet)
- Ground type and fractions visual assessment during the sampling. |
3 national sub-programmes for monitoring of the Chinese mitten crab have been developed:
1) For monitoring of planktonic phase of development samples are collected with standard net construction with opening 57 cm and mesh size 100 microns. Observations are made at fixed stations, the coordinates of which have been determined in advance by sampling on certain depths. Frequency of sampling up to 9 times per year. Species composition, abundance and biomass is determined according to the HELCOM recommendations in COMBINE manual in Guidelines for monitoring of mesozooplankton. The method is suitable for qualitative (species composition) and quantitative (biomass) detection of zooplankton organisms in nature water samples.
2) For monitoring of adult Chinese mitten crabs abundance information about by-caught individuals in industrial coastal fishing is used. Information is collected from fishermen. Comparison of data about by-caught crabs in the form (CPUE or catch per unit effort) over seasons and coastal areas is made. Industrial fishing takes place regularly throughout the year, covering most of the coastal territory of Latvia and the information obtained will be spatially representative.
It is planned to use one coastal fishing company in each coastal parish of Latvia, by agreeing to register information on the duration of the fishing act, the fishing gear used and the Chinese mitten crabs caught in them during the whole fishing season.
In addition to this collection of biological crab samples are also planned in order to register their gender, maturity, morphological parameters (and genetic material). Biological analyses of crabs in the long term scale would help answer the question whether this species is able to adapt and reproduce successfully in Latvian marine waters.
3) Public monitoring of the distribution of these crabs in an internet site will be created, where the Latvian public can report on findings of Chinese mitten crab. The information reporting page defines the parameters to be reported (e.g. date, time, location coordinates, required images, etc.). LHEI, in cooperation with the DAP, will assess the quality of the reported data to be used for monitoring Chinese mitten crabs.
Data/samples for round goby are obtained from:
1) coastal commercial fishing trips and from coastal fishing logbooks,
2) coastal fish monitoring and
3) benthic fish surveys. |

I Danmark kvalitetssikres størstedelen af de danske overvågningsdata i den nationale database (VanDa) ved tre kvalitetssikringsniveauer:
1. Elektronisk kontrol – den automatiske kontrol alle indtastninger undergår, når der registreres data i VanDa
2. Faglig kontrol – automatisk/manuel vurdering af data og data serier i VanDa.
3. Fagdatacenter kontrol – manuel vurdering af data og dataserier udført af fagdatacentret.
Hvis data ikke indrapporteres til den nationale database kvalitetssikres data af konsulenten, der udfører overvågningsopgaven, samt MFVM efter metoderne beskrevet i nationale tekniske anvisninger eller internationale guidelines.

For species determination of alien species, taxonomic calibration must be applied both nationally and internationally. National trainings, workshops and meetings for the contracters are needed. The methodology is developed in standardization projects within HELCOM and OSPAR. Depending on a continuous change and development in the taxonomy, determining literature can constitute a quality assurance problem. Taxonomists should therefore document which determination literature has been used. |
All information is collected in the Species Portal (Artportalen) and validated by a validation organization that also validates endangered and certain red-listed species. Proposals for a national routine for validation of IAS have been prepared by SLU. A digital support for validation is linked to Artportalen. The reporting follows the reporting forms that control the content and format of data and guarantees that the report contains at least the mandatory information. If a photograph is missing or the location is insufficient, the report can be validated by the validator contacting the reporter for more information. |
Data management |
The Federal Government/Länder Working Group on the North Sea and the Baltic Sea (BLANO) is currently developing a national data management plan to support, in particular, the reporting and implementation of the MSFD. It takes into account existing target systems, such as the submission of data to ICES (for OSPAR and HELCOM), other EU directives and the provision of services to INSPIRE. To this end, various data management tools, such as a National Marine Catalogue (NMDK) or the coordination of data retention of geospatial, meta and time series data, are foreseen. The data are provided on a decentralised basis or centrally by the Marine Environment Database (MUDAB) by the various federal structures in the coastal Länder, federal and research institutions. However, individual data sets are not yet freely available. The data are merged, analysed and stored in the Neobiota platform North Sea and Baltic Sea. Products from the analyses shall be made available to the professional community and to the interested public.
