Monitoring strategy description |
Several monitoring programmes provide data on the state of species, which could be assigned to different trophic guilds in the marine food web, from benthic habitats and plankton community to mobile species in the top of the food chain. Monitoring of pressures and activities can also provide insight to why impacts in the food web occur. However, there are still need for more research to connect the dots before being able to understand the dynamics of the food webs in full.
Research on how to assess the state of food webs is still under development and it remains to be seen whether the current monitoring of different trophic guilds are sufficient or not. It is important to be able to understand the dynamics of the plankton community based on both species composition and the degree of autotrophy or heterotrophy. The monitoring of the bacterial community together with the phytoplankton community is central to the analysis of the balance between autotrophy and heterotrophy, but this balance is only assessed to a limited extent.
In addition, it is important to be able to use detailed information on variation in food preferences of relevant predators, i.e. zooplankton, fish, birds and marine mammals. Changes in the species' state of health, such as nutritional and reproductive status in marine mammals, breeding success in birds and weight/length ratio in the fish community are also important parameters to be able to assess food webs. Monitoring of these parameters need sufficient frequency and spatial resolution, taking into account the range of the species.
There are no targets in place specifically linked to marine food webs, however, the targets for hazardous substances, eutrophication, marine litter, underwater noise and fishing activities are indirectly relevant to achieve good status also for D4.
Just as for the targets the links between the human activities and pressures and how they may impact the populations and communities are not yet crystal clear. Several measures may cause positive changes in the marine species populations and communities, but there´s not yet full insight in how the monitoring and assessment methods in place could be used to detect positive changes in the food web as the result of measures. |

In addition, it is important to be able to use detailed information on variation in food preferences of relevant predators, i.e. zooplankton, fish, birds and marine mammals. Changes in the species' state of health, such as nutritional and reproductive status in marine mammals, breeding success in birds and weight/length ratio in the fish community are also important parameters to be able to assess food webs. Monitoring of these parameters need sufficient frequency and spatial resolution, taking into account the range of the species.
There are no targets in place specifically linked to marine food webs, however, the targets for hazardous substances, eutrophication, marine litter, underwater noise and fishing activities are indirectly relevant to achieve good status also for D4.
Just as for the targets the links between the human activities and pressures and how they may impact the populations and communities are not yet crystal clear. Several measures may cause positive changes in the marine species populations and communities, but there´s not yet full insight in how the monitoring and assessment methods in place could be used to detect positive changes in the food web as the result of measures. |
Several monitoring programmes provide data on the state of species, which could be assigned to different trophic guilds in the marine food web, from benthic habitats and plankton community to mobile species in the top of the food chain. Monitoring of pressures and activities can also provide insight to why impacts in the food web occur. However, there are still need for more research to connect the dots before being able to understand the dynamics of the food webs in full.
Research on how to assess the state of food webs is still under development and it remains to be seen whether the current monitoring of different trophic guilds are sufficient or not.

Monitoring of pressures and activities can also provide insight to why impacts in the food web occur. However, there are still need for more research to connect the dots before being able to understand the dynamics of the food webs in full.
Research on how to assess the state of food webs is still under development and it remains to be seen whether the current monitoring of different trophic guilds are sufficient or not. It is important to be able to understand the dynamics of the plankton community based on both species composition and the degree of autotrophy or heterotrophy. The monitoring of the bacterial community together with the phytoplankton community is central to the analysis of the balance between autotrophy and heterotrophy, but this balance is only assessed to a limited extent.
In addition, it is important to be able to use detailed information on variation in food preferences of relevant predators, i.e. zooplankton, fish, birds and marine mammals. Changes in the species' state of health, such as nutritional and reproductive status in marine mammals, breeding success in birds and weight/length ratio in the fish community are also important parameters to be able to assess food webs. Monitoring of these parameters need sufficient frequency and spatial resolution, taking into account the range of the species.
There are no targets in place specifically linked to marine food webs, however, the targets for hazardous substances, eutrophication, marine litter, underwater noise and fishing activities are indirectly relevant to achieve good status also for D4.
Just as for the targets the links between the human activities and pressures and how they may impact the populations and communities are not yet crystal clear.

There are no targets in place specifically linked to marine food webs, however, the targets for hazardous substances, eutrophication, marine litter, underwater noise and fishing activities are indirectly relevant to achieve good status also for D4.
Just as for the targets the links between the human activities and pressures and how they may impact the populations and communities are not yet crystal clear. Several measures may cause positive changes in the marine species populations and communities, but there´s not yet full insight in how the monitoring and assessment methods in place could be used to detect positive changes in the food web as the result of measures. |
Several monitoring programmes provide data on the state of species, which could be assigned to different trophic guilds in the marine food web, from benthic habitats and plankton community to mobile species in the top of the food chain. Monitoring of pressures and activities can also provide insight to why impacts in the food web occur. However, there are still need for more research to connect the dots before being able to understand the dynamics of the food webs in full.
Research on how to assess the state of food webs is still under development and it remains to be seen whether the current monitoring of different trophic guilds are sufficient or not. It is important to be able to understand the dynamics of the plankton community based on both species composition and the degree of autotrophy or heterotrophy. The monitoring of the bacterial community together with the phytoplankton community is central to the analysis of the balance between autotrophy and heterotrophy, but this balance is only assessed to a limited extent.
In addition, it is important to be able to use detailed information on variation in food preferences of relevant predators, i.e. zooplankton, fish, birds and marine mammals.

The monitoring of the bacterial community together with the phytoplankton community is central to the analysis of the balance between autotrophy and heterotrophy, but this balance is only assessed to a limited extent.
In addition, it is important to be able to use detailed information on variation in food preferences of relevant predators, i.e. zooplankton, fish, birds and marine mammals. Changes in the species' state of health, such as nutritional and reproductive status in marine mammals, breeding success in birds and weight/length ratio in the fish community are also important parameters to be able to assess food webs. Monitoring of these parameters need sufficient frequency and spatial resolution, taking into account the range of the species.
There are no targets in place specifically linked to marine food webs, however, the targets for hazardous substances, eutrophication, marine litter, underwater noise and fishing activities are indirectly relevant to achieve good status also for D4.
Just as for the targets the links between the human activities and pressures and how they may impact the populations and communities are not yet crystal clear. Several measures may cause positive changes in the marine species populations and communities, but there´s not yet full insight in how the monitoring and assessment methods in place could be used to detect positive changes in the food web as the result of measures. |
Several monitoring programmes provide data on the state of species, which could be assigned to different trophic guilds in the marine food web, from benthic habitats and plankton community to mobile species in the top of the food chain. Monitoring of pressures and activities can also provide insight to why impacts in the food web occur. However, there are still need for more research to connect the dots before being able to understand the dynamics of the food webs in full.

Several monitoring programmes provide data on the state of species, which could be assigned to different trophic guilds in the marine food web, from benthic habitats and plankton community to mobile species in the top of the food chain. Monitoring of pressures and activities can also provide insight to why impacts in the food web occur. However, there are still need for more research to connect the dots before being able to understand the dynamics of the food webs in full.
Research on how to assess the state of food webs is still under development and it remains to be seen whether the current monitoring of different trophic guilds are sufficient or not. It is important to be able to understand the dynamics of the plankton community based on both species composition and the degree of autotrophy or heterotrophy. The monitoring of the bacterial community together with the phytoplankton community is central to the analysis of the balance between autotrophy and heterotrophy, but this balance is only assessed to a limited extent.
In addition, it is important to be able to use detailed information on variation in food preferences of relevant predators, i.e. zooplankton, fish, birds and marine mammals. Changes in the species' state of health, such as nutritional and reproductive status in marine mammals, breeding success in birds and weight/length ratio in the fish community are also important parameters to be able to assess food webs. Monitoring of these parameters need sufficient frequency and spatial resolution, taking into account the range of the species.
There are no targets in place specifically linked to marine food webs, however, the targets for hazardous substances, eutrophication, marine litter, underwater noise and fishing activities are indirectly relevant to achieve good status also for D4.

Gaps and plans |
Length-weight calculations of zooplankton biomass are deficient in both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, why Gothenburg University and SMHI have been commissioned to review this. The Helcom methods may not be used successfully because the species composition and other factors differ significantly between the southern Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia. The presence of gelatinous zooplankton, such as jellyfish, can also significantly affect the food web, which is why monitoring of this group has started in 2020 (see programme Zooplankton).
Monitoring of benthic habitats also provides important data, as these governs, e.g. food supply and access to species' habitats. There is still a lack of knowledge about how benthic data can be used in the assessment of food webs. However, a pilot study is underway within Ospar to produce assessments in the Kattegat based on Ecological Network analysis (ENA) and existing food web models such as EcoPath. The purpose of these assessments is to identify deviations from a reference condition and they thus illustrate an unnatural variation over time. This will however not necessarily include defining thresholds, as it has not yet been possible to distinguish between good and bad environmental status.
How assessment of food webs can be further developed will be discussed in both HELCOM and OSPAR in the coming years based on the outcome of the pilot study in OSPAR and the Bonus projects XWebs and BlueWebs. SwAM also observe the developments in other research projects, such as EcoChange, and research funded by the Environmental Research Grant, where food web interactions and their impact are studied and where the results can be translated into improved monitoring for D4. For the development of the monitoring of the various trophic guilds, see the strategies for mammals, seabirds, fish and pelagic and benthic habitats. |

For the development of the monitoring of the various trophic guilds, see the strategies for mammals, seabirds, fish and pelagic and benthic habitats. |
Length-weight calculations of zooplankton biomass are deficient in both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, why Gothenburg University and SMHI have been commissioned to review this. The Helcom methods may not be used successfully because the species composition and other factors differ significantly between the southern Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia. The presence of gelatinous zooplankton, such as jellyfish, can also significantly affect the food web, which is why monitoring of this group has started in 2020 (see programme Zooplankton).
Monitoring of benthic habitats also provides important data, as these governs, e.g. food supply and access to species' habitats. There is still a lack of knowledge about how benthic data can be used in the assessment of food webs. However, a pilot study is underway within Ospar to produce assessments in the Kattegat based on Ecological Network analysis (ENA) and existing food web models such as EcoPath. The purpose of these assessments is to identify deviations from a reference condition and they thus illustrate an unnatural variation over time. This will however not necessarily include defining thresholds, as it has not yet been possible to distinguish between good and bad environmental status.

The presence of gelatinous zooplankton, such as jellyfish, can also significantly affect the food web, which is why monitoring of this group has started in 2020 (see programme Zooplankton).
Monitoring of benthic habitats also provides important data, as these governs, e.g. food supply and access to species' habitats. There is still a lack of knowledge about how benthic data can be used in the assessment of food webs. However, a pilot study is underway within Ospar to produce assessments in the Kattegat based on Ecological Network analysis (ENA) and existing food web models such as EcoPath. The purpose of these assessments is to identify deviations from a reference condition and they thus illustrate an unnatural variation over time. This will however not necessarily include defining thresholds, as it has not yet been possible to distinguish between good and bad environmental status.
How assessment of food webs can be further developed will be discussed in both HELCOM and OSPAR in the coming years based on the outcome of the pilot study in OSPAR and the Bonus projects XWebs and BlueWebs. SwAM also observe the developments in other research projects, such as EcoChange, and research funded by the Environmental Research Grant, where food web interactions and their impact are studied and where the results can be translated into improved monitoring for D4. For the development of the monitoring of the various trophic guilds, see the strategies for mammals, seabirds, fish and pelagic and benthic habitats. |

The purpose of these assessments is to identify deviations from a reference condition and they thus illustrate an unnatural variation over time. This will however not necessarily include defining thresholds, as it has not yet been possible to distinguish between good and bad environmental status.
How assessment of food webs can be further developed will be discussed in both HELCOM and OSPAR in the coming years based on the outcome of the pilot study in OSPAR and the Bonus projects XWebs and BlueWebs. SwAM also observe the developments in other research projects, such as EcoChange, and research funded by the Environmental Research Grant, where food web interactions and their impact are studied and where the results can be translated into improved monitoring for D4. For the development of the monitoring of the various trophic guilds, see the strategies for mammals, seabirds, fish and pelagic and benthic habitats. |
Length-weight calculations of zooplankton biomass are deficient in both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, why Gothenburg University and SMHI have been commissioned to review this. The Helcom methods may not be used successfully because the species composition and other factors differ significantly between the southern Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia. The presence of gelatinous zooplankton, such as jellyfish, can also significantly affect the food web, which is why monitoring of this group has started in 2020 (see programme Zooplankton).

SwAM also observe the developments in other research projects, such as EcoChange, and research funded by the Environmental Research Grant, where food web interactions and their impact are studied and where the results can be translated into improved monitoring for D4. For the development of the monitoring of the various trophic guilds, see the strategies for mammals, seabirds, fish and pelagic and benthic habitats. |
Length-weight calculations of zooplankton biomass are deficient in both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, why Gothenburg University and SMHI have been commissioned to review this. The Helcom methods may not be used successfully because the species composition and other factors differ significantly between the southern Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia. The presence of gelatinous zooplankton, such as jellyfish, can also significantly affect the food web, which is why monitoring of this group has started in 2020 (see programme Zooplankton).
Monitoring of benthic habitats also provides important data, as these governs, e.g. food supply and access to species' habitats. There is still a lack of knowledge about how benthic data can be used in the assessment of food webs. However, a pilot study is underway within Ospar to produce assessments in the Kattegat based on Ecological Network analysis (ENA) and existing food web models such as EcoPath. The purpose of these assessments is to identify deviations from a reference condition and they thus illustrate an unnatural variation over time. This will however not necessarily include defining thresholds, as it has not yet been possible to distinguish between good and bad environmental status.

Programme description |
Coastal fish refer to the fish species that live a significant part of their lives in the coastal ecosystem, such as flounder (Platichthys flesus), perch (Perca fluviatilis) and eelpout (Zoarces viviparus). Coastal fish monitoring (trawls, nets, hydroacoustics) aims to describe changes in the fishing community as a whole, in terms of species composition, relative occurrence of different species and size structure. In addition, changes at species level are followed up by analyzing changes in the number and size structure of the most common species in the catch. In some surveys, individual sampling of selected species is performed. The individual sampling aims to provide information about, for example, individual weight and condition, and provides material for further analysis of, for example, age and fish health.
The state of coastal fish reflects the coastal ecosystem and the impact of small-scale coastal fishing and recreational fishing (see programmes Commercial fisheries and Recreational fisheries). Long-term changes in the abundance of different functional groups of coastal fish can also be affected by eutrophication, deteriorating habitats and changes in predation. The latter may be due to imbalance in the food web due to human impact such as fishing and loss of important habitats.
Monitoring in the Baltic Sea started in 1960 while in the North Sea it started in 1969.
Abramis bjoerkna, Arnoglossus laterna, Callionymus lyra, Chelidonichthys gurnardus, Myoxocephalus scorpius and Trachinus draco are also monitored but they were not included in the element lists for Coastal fish nor Commercial fish |

Long-term changes in the abundance of different functional groups of coastal fish can also be affected by eutrophication, deteriorating habitats and changes in predation. The latter may be due to imbalance in the food web due to human impact such as fishing and loss of important habitats.
Monitoring in the Baltic Sea started in 1960 while in the North Sea it started in 1969.
Abramis bjoerkna, Arnoglossus laterna, Callionymus lyra, Chelidonichthys gurnardus, Myoxocephalus scorpius and Trachinus draco are also monitored but they were not included in the element lists for Coastal fish nor Commercial fish |
Coastal fish refer to the fish species that live a significant part of their lives in the coastal ecosystem, such as flounder (Platichthys flesus), perch (Perca fluviatilis) and eelpout (Zoarces viviparus). Coastal fish monitoring (trawls, nets, hydroacoustics) aims to describe changes in the fishing community as a whole, in terms of species composition, relative occurrence of different species and size structure. In addition, changes at species level are followed up by analyzing changes in the number and size structure of the most common species in the catch. In some surveys, individual sampling of selected species is performed. The individual sampling aims to provide information about, for example, individual weight and condition, and provides material for further analysis of, for example, age and fish health.

Offshore fish refers to those fish species that live a significant part of their lives in the open sea off the coast, such as herring, sprat and cod. The monitoring of these species and also commercial crustaceans such as crabfish, North Sea shrimp and lobster is coordinated between several countries in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea area, and takes place via acoustic methods and trawl surveys. Data are also collected by sampling on board commercial fishing boats and catches in ports.
Several of the species monitored are used in commercial fishing (see programme Commercial fisheries) and all surveys described here are carried out within the framework of the data collection on fish and fisheries governed by EU legislation ((EU) 2017/1004, (EU) 2019 / 909 and (EU) 2019/910). The data collection forms the basis for the scientific basis for the EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and the information is used in the work of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) to produce a basis for the fishing quotas decided by the EU. Data collection is also done for bycatches in the fishery, see programme Bycatch.

What is currently included in the targeted monitoring is the ten-legged crustacean Nephrops norvegicus. The species is nocturnal and lives on and buried in solid clay bottoms. Along the coast of Sweden, the species occur in the Kattegat and Skagerrak. Nephrops norvegicus is an important commercial species that is fished through bottom trawling. In addition to Nephrops norvegicus, other species that live in the same habitat, such as sea pens and other coral animals, can be injured or die as a result of trawling. The purpose of monitoring Nephrops norvegicus is to map the abundance of the species in areas that are fished. This is done in a UWTV survey (Under Water TV), ie by filming the seabed with an underwater camera and counting the number of inhabited holes per unit area. During the monitoring, the effects of trawling can also be assessed.
The geographical coverage of the monitoring is based on the main catchment areas and is thus expected to cover the species main distribution areas. Data collection (in accordance with EU legislation (EU) 2017/1004, (EU) 2019/909 and (EU) 2019/910) through UWTV is coordinated by ICES's working group WGNEPS between several countries in the North Sea area. |

Seabirds are an important part of the marine ecosystem, as most species are high up in the food chain. The monitoring of breeding and wintering birds along the coast and in the offshore areas aims to follow the population development over time, which can be affected by changing conditions in the food web but also by the direct impact that arises from a number of different human activities. The status of seabirds therefore gives a general indication of the state of the ecosystem and corresponds to the cumulative impact of different pressures.
Breeding and wintering birds are nationally monitored annually along the Swedish coast. Standardized inventories of wintering birds along the coast of Sweden have been ongoing annually since 1967 and are coordinated internationally within the International Waterbird Census. Breeding birds have been monitored on a large scale since 2010. At the local level, monitoring of breeding coastal birds is also carried out in a number of coastal counties, where several of the programmes are linked to the national programme.
With an approximate six-year interval, inventories of wintering seabird species in the offshore areas are carried out, in order to supplement the annual inventories. These inventories are coordinated internationally and were first carried out in 1992-93. In 2020, inventories will be carried out in the offshore sea areas within the HELCOM and OSPAR regions in order to improve knowledge of the species that live there, especially hareld (Clangula hyemalis). The inventories are coordinated with other countries around the Baltic Sea and the North Sea through the working group JWGbird.
Somateria mollissima (Anas molissima) is also monitored, but was not in the element list |

In 2020, inventories will be carried out in the offshore sea areas within the HELCOM and OSPAR regions in order to improve knowledge of the species that live there, especially hareld (Clangula hyemalis). The inventories are coordinated with other countries around the Baltic Sea and the North Sea through the working group JWGbird.

Seabirds are an important part of the marine ecosystem, as most species are high up in the food chain. The monitoring of breeding and wintering birds along the coast and in the offshore areas aims to follow the population development over time, which can be affected by changing conditions in the food web but also by the direct impact that arises from a number of different human activities. The status of seabirds therefore gives a general indication of the state of the ecosystem and corresponds to the cumulative impact of different pressures.
Breeding and wintering birds are nationally monitored annually along the Swedish coast. Standardized inventories of wintering birds along the coast of Sweden have been ongoing annually since 1967 and are coordinated internationally within the International Waterbird Census. Breeding birds have been monitored on a large scale since 2010. At the local level, monitoring of breeding coastal birds is also carried out in a number of coastal counties, where several of the programmes are linked to the national programme.

In Sweden, there are three species of seals - grey seal (Halichoerus grypus), harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) and ringed seal (Pusa hispida). Each species have a custumized national monitoring programme for estimating the poulation abundance. The aim of monitoring the abundance and distribution of seals is to detect long-term effects of human activities affecting seals as a result of hunting, bycatch, hazardous substances and changes in the food web.
Grey seal monitoring started in 1989

Zooplankton are located between phytoplankton and fish in the food web and thus constitute an important link as they can reduce the amount of phytoplankton acting as predators and at the same time act as food for species higher up in the trophy levels such as fish. Different groups of zooplankton have different functions in the food web as some are herbivores and others carnivores. By monitoring abundance, species diversity, and the biomass of zooplankton, one can thus capture potential changes in the food web as a result of, for example, eutrophication, fishing or other human activities.
Zooplankton monitoring started in the Baltic Sea in the early 1970s, but regular data is only available at data hosts from 1994. In the North Sea, regular monitoring started in 1998. Since 2007, continuous sampling of gelatinous zooplankton has been ongoing at Släggö in Gullmarsfjorden and in 2020 the monitoring was extended to other zooplankton stations. |

By monitoring abundance, species diversity, and the biomass of zooplankton, one can thus capture potential changes in the food web as a result of, for example, eutrophication, fishing or other human activities.
Zooplankton monitoring started in the Baltic Sea in the early 1970s, but regular data is only available at data hosts from 1994. In the North Sea, regular monitoring started in 1998. Since 2007, continuous sampling of gelatinous zooplankton has been ongoing at Släggö in Gullmarsfjorden and in 2020 the monitoring was extended to other zooplankton stations. |

The purpose of monitoring macrophytes on hard- and sedimentbottom communities are to follow longterm changes in the marine environment due to changes in water transparency, nutrient enrichment and physical disturbance, and indirect effects due to changes in foodwebs.
During 2016-2019 the monitoring programme was revised. New methods for monitoring of hardbottom vegetation has started and additional areas and stations has been added the national programme. New methods for monitoring of sediment communities with vegetation/eelgrass has started and additional areas and stations has been added the national programme.
Sweden is also developing integrated methods for monitoring shallow habitats using satellites or drones to supplement the current in situ monitoring.
Sampling primarily every year, every other year or every third year |

Mapping and monitoring of benthic habitats is of crucial importance for all environmental management at sea, from a functioning ecosystem-based marine environment management to meeting the various requirements of environmental legislation. The need for continuous and comprehensive monitoring covering the biological components of the MSFD, the Habitats Directive and the WFD has been clarified in recent reporting cycles. Corresponding needs also exist within the national environmental goals, from the Convention on Biological Diversity and the current challenges of tackling climate change. The new objectives of the EU Biodiversity Strategy (2021-2030) require functioning monitoring systems that provide comprehensive information for protection, assessment of permits, action planning and evaluation (of protection, permit modification and implemented measures).
Monitoring is needed for sustainable fisheries regulation and coastal planning linked to exploitation, as well as for the management of transport routes and energy production, and last but not least to ensure a functioning network of protected areas and a functioning beach protection.
The monitoring of benthic habitats is largely dependent on technical solutions. Methods for monitoring are under development and will, together with monitoring of pressures (see program Physical disturbance and loss), provide a basis for assessing the condition of the benthic habitats and how they are affected by various human activities. The Habitats Directive's assessment in 2019 shows that physical impact on conservation status in the form of construction, ports, dredging and bottom trawling predominates in the North Sea, while water quality, hazardous substances and nutrient load instead have a greater derogatory impact on habitats in the Baltic Sea.
In order to be able to respond to the requirements in an integrated manner, a development of coordinated methods is underway that can deliver the necessary data on benthic habitats. The pilot phase of a survey and monitoring of shallow marine areas using satellite, aerial and drone images and biological sampling will be completed in 2020 and the established monitoring method will be tested and fine-tuned in 2021. The studies include testing of methods from satellite to biological sampling both in the Baltic Sea and on the West Coast.

Marine mammals are top predators in the food chain, which increases the probability of detecting changes in ecosystems and high levels of hazardous substances. Substances found in low levels in fish can be enriched and detected in high levels in seals and porpoises, which makes them suitable as indicator organisms for early detection of changes in the environment.
The primary aim of the monitoring is to study the long-term effects of hazardous substances and other human activities affecting the marine environment by documenting population development for grey seals, harbor seals, ringed seals and harbor porpoises in combination with studies of cause of death, health, diseases and chemical analyzes.
Marine mammals (bycatch, hunted or found dead for unknown reasons) are collected and investigated each year. Monitoring of Baltic seal healths started in 1975 and was expanded with ongoing health and disease monitoring of marine mammals in 2020.
During 2020-2021, the monitoring of the effects of hazardous substances will be evaluated in order to be able to optimize the monitoring programmes both in terms of coverage and costs and to provide a better basis for state assessment and determining the causes of the effects.
Comment: D8C2 was not in the list for the feature Adverse effects on species and habitats, but this criteria is relevant for this programme. |

Marine mammals (bycatch, hunted or found dead for unknown reasons) are collected and investigated each year. Monitoring of Baltic seal healths started in 1975 and was expanded with ongoing health and disease monitoring of marine mammals in 2020.
During 2020-2021, the monitoring of the effects of hazardous substances will be evaluated in order to be able to optimize the monitoring programmes both in terms of coverage and costs and to provide a better basis for state assessment and determining the causes of the effects.
Comment: D8C2 was not in the list for the feature Adverse effects on species and habitats, but this criteria is relevant for this programme. |
Marine mammals are top predators in the food chain, which increases the probability of detecting changes in ecosystems and high levels of hazardous substances.

Sediment-living macrofauna have a size that is captured on a 1 mm sieve and include many different animal groups e.g. polychaetes, molluscs, echinoderms and crustaceans.
The aim is to follow long-term trends in the marine environment as a result of organic loading and oxygen deficiency by documenting changes in the structure of the sediment-living macrofauna communities.
Sampling primarily every year or every other year
Monitoring in the Baltic Sea started 1971, and 1972 in the North Sea. |

White-tailed eagles are at the top of the food chain in the Baltic Sea, which makes the species particularly exposed to hazardous substances. White-tailed eagles can show high levels of persistent organic compounds that are also enriched in their adipose tissue. The white-tailed eagle was one of the earliest animal species to signal the problems of hazardous substances in the Baltic Sea, which was expressed as a greatly reduced reproductive success. The primary purpose of the monitoring is to study effects and demonstrate long-term load changes of hazardous substances in the marine environment by documenting the reproductive capacity and population development of the white-tailed eagle population along the Swedish Baltic coast. Observed reproduction figures are compared with background levels from the time before the impact of environmental toxins.
Other than the main areas that are included in national monitoring there are also monitoring in other areas based on voulontary actions, but this is mostly conducted by elderly persons, so the future of these ations are rather uncertain, therefore we only included MRU:s covered by national monitoring.
During 2020-2021, the monitoring of the effects of hazardous substances will be evaluated in order to be able to optimize the monitoring programmes both in terms of coverage and costs and to provide a better basis for state assessment and determining the causes of the effects. |

Monitoring of vendace, which resides in the free water column are done with special sonar (vendace survey). These register the amount of fish on a predetermined distance. Trawl hauls are carried out at regular intervals to estimate the size composition. In addition to this, vendace is also sampled through on-board and harbor sampling in commercial fishing. This sampling is described in more detail in programmes Offshore fish and By-catch (for non-target species)." |

A review of existing methods has shown that there is no single method that can meet all data needs. Therefore, the current focus is on developing a concept based on combined methods, where one or more sub-methods can deliver large-scale coverage while other sub-methods can deliver more accurate spatial and/or biological data. The results from the various sub-methods must be able to be seamlessly linked so that together they form a functioning monitoring system. One possibility that is being investigated is the use of Sentinel 2 satellite data to create a comprehensive and uniform image throughout Sweden (scale 10 x 10 meters) in combination with drones that can locally create image mosaics of benthic vegetation (with an accuracy of a few centimeters) and biological sampling of the vegetation, which in turn enables more accurate species identification and other biological factors. Pilot surveys in 2019 have shown that the method has the potential to cover benthic habitats down to medium visibility depths.
Deeper benthic environments (below the visibility depth limit) require monitoring based on comprehensive substrate and depth models based on data from different types of remote mapping (especially different sonar-based methods). The technical possibilities for producing and modeling bottom information in the same accuracy as shallower areas were initially investigated in 2019 within the National Marine Mapping (NMK) project and showed great potential. Development of reliable and usable models is, however, limited by the lack of measurement data of sufficiently high quality for parts of Sweden's sea area and by the fact that large parts of the existing data are unavailable. |

The quality assurance includes control reading routines of entered data against protocols, automatic quality control of data within the database and manual quality control of data (identification of outliers). Data from trawl surveys are delivered to ICES database DATRAS. Before data is accepted into DATRAS, delivered data undergoes quality review. Quality assurance of age reading and determination of sexual maturity of fish takes place through annual calibrations. |

The inventories of wintering and breeding seabirds follow a simple and well-documented methodology. Reporting is done via digital protocols that are sent to the Swedish Bird Taxation, which is the project manager for both inventories. Received protocols are checked before they are entered into the database. In case of doubt, they contact the rapporter. Furthermore, entered data is validated through a number of control questions. |

The quality assurance is following standardized methodology and partly by using Swedac-accredited laboratories. For the work of determining the species of the animals, it is of great importance to have access to people with good knowledge of taxonomy. The data should be checked before delivery to the national data host SMHI that make standardized tests and link data to taxonomic databases. |

In surveys of sediment-living macrofauna, the count of the sorted animals is a very small source of error. On the other hand, variations in the species and wet weight determination can vary between performers and it is therefore important that the method description is followed and that they regularly participate in national and international ring tests. The data should be checked before delivery to the national data host SMHI that make standardized tests and link data to taxonomic databases. |

The monitoring method is based on locating settlements and determining what activity the sea eagles have engaged in at the settlements. There are several steps that can cause uncertainty in data. One such is, e.g., that newly built so-called alternative nests in previously known territories are not detected and the territory is therefore incorrectly interpreted as "inactive". The inspections of the settlements also include in many cases interpreting "negative data" or "zero data", ie to determine what happened in nests that at the (first) inventory did not have the presence of adult (brooding) sea eagles or young. It is very difficult from the ground to determine whether a seemingly "empty" nest has still been active during the current breeding season. Difficulty in determining the status of "empty" nests can lead to misinterpretations that affect the variable "breeding success" because only the number of active nests is included in this variable. With a helicopter and/or climbing, the possibility of a correct assessment is very good for experienced observers.
The inspections of the settlements that take place via climbing to the nest provide reliable data with regard to the number of young at the time of the inspection. However, there is some uncertainty as to whether all chicks registered in May-June reach flight-ready age. Breeding can fail at a later stage, for example due to a nest collapse or predation. Controls of nests from the ground systematically underestimate the litter size, as the eagles' large nests can make young difficult or impossible to detect if the nest is viewed from below. Only nests that have been climbed have therefore been included in the statistics for the Baltic Sea before. Complementing studies during 2017-2018 showed that the correspondence between controls from helicopters and controls via climbing to the nest is high, in about 90% of cases the same result was obtained. Collected data is quality controlled by the responsible project manager at the Swedish Museum of Natural History. Today, there is a need for increased quality assurance and the establishment of common routines for both inventory and registration of the variables within the monitoring. This applies in particular to the components of the variables that include nests that have not produced young. Digitization and supplementation of older inventory data is currently underway. |
