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 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.

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).

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).

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).

The aim of the programme is to monitor the status of the commercially exploited pelagic fish species – sprat and herring in the offshore areas of the Estonian marine waters. The biomass and fishing mortality of stocks are assessed. It provides data to monitoring strategy “SD1.4 Biodiversity – Fish” and „SD3-commercially exploited fish“. Monitoring is conducted annually. The program is regionally coordinated via ICES and the ICES monitoring manual is followed.
