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.

Q6d - Description of programme for targets assessment
The monitoring programme is incomplete at the present stage due to lack of knowledge and severe limitation in indicator availability. The indicators are lacking as well as system/tool to aggregate the indicator-based assessments so that the overall progress towards targets could be assessed. Question 6a:The assessment system that agregates indicators to assess targets is not developped yet. The target values are elaborated for separate indicators. Information on that can be found in document elaborated for Initial assessment (www.lhei.lv/docs/2012/Juras_derektiva_C.pdf)

Q7b - Description of monitoring of activities
• The land-based pressure monitoring is addressed in the frame of Water framework directive. • Atmospheric depositions of nutrients and selected contaminants are addressed on regional level through cooperation in HELCOM frame. The actual calculations are performed by EMEP and presented for the whole regional in form of maps. • The ship traffic intensity as well as oil pollution by ships is addressed in form of regional cooperation in HELCOM. Oil spill maps are regularly updated and published on HELCOM web page covering whole region. • Fishing pressure is addressed in the frame of CFP. • The physical impact by port activities (dumping of dredged material, maintenance of port facilities) and potentially impact by construction of other infrastructure is and will be addressed locally in frame of Impact assessment procedure and following operator monitoring. • The marine litter will be addressed on regional scale. Currently HELCOM Marine litter action plan, that will include also suggestions on monitoring, is in elaboration stage. • Noise is not addressed at present.

Monitoring strategy description
The section addresses state (number and distribution of wintering birds). The full survey is planned once every 6 years in coordination with other Baltic Sea states. In addition, annually "index" surveys are planned to obtain an estimate of long term inter-annual variation of wintering bird populations. Pressure and impact are monitored under other sub-programs.

Programme description
The purpose of the monitoring is to assess the ecological status of the Baltic Sea, including one of the environmental status components biodiversity by observing abundance and distribution of wintering seabirds as well as changes in the composition, number and distribution of bird species occurring in the marine territories of Latvia, as well as to identify and predict the trends of these changes. The programme supports the assessment of temporal trends and spatial distribution. Corresponding HELCOM monitoring programme Birds and sub-programme "Marine wintering birds abundance and distribution". At present monitoring of birds is partly coordinated in HELCOM and the information presented in the Monitoring Manual is based on national monitoring programmes. 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. Corresponding legislative act of the Republic of Latvia: Law On the Conservation of Species and Biotopes (adopted 16.03.2000); Republic of Latvia Cabinet Regulation No. 17 (adopted 5 January 2010) Regulations Regarding Protected Marine Territories.

Monitoring details
Monitoring of wintering marine birds is performed by aerial surveillance in transects in the whole marine aquatory in the territorial waters of Latvia. Used transects 3 km in shallow zones or every 6 km in deep zones. Monitored parameters - the abundance of species as well as the number and density of individuals identified for each species. Two types of surveys are used for the population size and annual population variability data. First full account is intended to assess the size of wintering marine bird populations and primarily are performed together with other HELCOM region states in the years when coordinated inventory takes place in the Baltic sea, but not less than once in a six years. Second in all other years, so-called index assessment is carried out in order to obtain data on annual variations in populations of wintering water birds.
