HOLAS II hazardous substance assessment BalticBOOST HZ WS 9/13/2016 2-2016 2

HOLAS I conclusions and consecutive work • HELCOM concluded based on the HOLAS I that a regionally coherent assessment requires regionally developed core indicators • Agreement to develop core indicators • CORESET I (2011-2013) CORESET II (2013-2015) • Core indicator porposals have been developed for with the aim to cover all assessment elements Lena Avellan 9/13/2016 HELCOM 3

Core indicator definitions (HELCOM MONAS 2012) • Core indicator – commonly agreed indicator – GES boundary allowing follow-up of progress towards reaching GES – Build on coordinated monitoring data when possible • Pre-core indicator – Agreed in principle to be used as a core indicator, however some critical component of the indicator is still under development • Candidate indicator – Living list of new proposals for core indicators being developed furhter by experts Lena Avellan 9/13/2016 HELCOM 4

Core indicators and assessment units • Core indicators evaluation results are displayed for assessment units defined in HELCOM Monitoing and Assessment Strategy (2013), four spatial scales; 1. Whole Baltic Sea 2. Sub-basins 3. Sub-basins with coastal area 4. Sub-basins with coastal area split into WFD waterbodies or – types • Accounting for ecological differences in different regions may require assessment unit specific GES boundaries Lena Avellan 9/13/2016 HELCOM 5

Core indicators process • All indicators, including their GES-boundaries, to be included in HOLAS II are to be agreed by HELCOM HOD 51-2016 in December, thus proposals to be submitted for endorsement to State and Conservation 5-2016 by 14 October • Study reservations in place by Denmark, Germany, Poland and Sweden on GES-boundaries of the current set of core indicators to be clarified by in the same timeline • Indicator assessment protocols to be finalize EN-HZ 3-2016 agreed that leads are to test the proposed approach (so called MIME R-script) BalticBOOST HZ WS 9/13/2016 2-2016 7

COMBINE data • Core indicators have been developed with the aim to be based on COMBINE data • For HOLAS II purposes hazardous substances data needs to be delivered to COMBINE during the regular reporting proceedure, i.e. by end of September 2016 BalticBOOST HZ WS 9/13/2016 2-2016 15

COMBINE data • ICES developing data views through BalticBOOST WP 2.2 • Data view builds on core indicator based extraction table that specifying substances, congeners, matrices, conversions etc • Widget provided (recently updated) to view available stations • Excel file with the data summaries also uploaded: https://portal.helcom.fi/meetings/BalticBOOST%20HZ%20 WS%202-2016- 373/MeetingDocuments/Data%20summary%20BalticBoost %202011-16_20160909.xlsx. BalticBOOST HZ WS 9/13/2016 2-2016 16

Other national/regional data • COMBINE does currently not hold all relevant data for the core indicators, e.g. White-tailed eagle productivity data is harvested from national sources • To be concluded if other national datasets in addition to core indicator data is to be included in HOLAS II, e.g. National WFD second cycle assessment details BalticBOOST HZ WS 9/13/2016 2-2016 17
