STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT & COOPERATION BONUS BONUS FUMARI SEAM
WP1: Gaps Lead: SLU, Maria Kahlert
Progress: WP1 GAPS 1. Questionnaire to key stakeholders 2. (Graphical systematic mapping) 3. Systematic scientific literature review 4. Review of relevant BONUS and HELCOM reports
Progress: WP1 GAPS 1. Questionnaire to key stakeholders: Questionnaire send out to 42 key stakeholders ∗ 39 started replying ∗ 23 completed the survey • 12 stopped after the initial questions, • 4 did not return any reply (just read all questions) ∗ EXTENDED DL - PLEASE provide INPUT! ∗ https://www.netigate.se/ra/s.aspx?s=712230X173875137X81527
General gaps in Baltic Sea monitoring Stakeholders have observed the following general gaps: 70% 60% 60% 60% 50% 50% 45% 45% 40% 30% 30% 20% 20% 15% 10% 0% HELCOM core indicator Lack of maintaining Lack of taxonomic Insufficient or non- Missing integration of Too little coordination Too little international Other, please specify lineup not complete high quality of resolution and existing harmonisation scientists, monitoring within different coordinated (n=3) regarding the MSFD monitoring data after taxonomic of monitoring methods programs and national monitoring monitoring (n=10) descriptors (n=9) consultants take over inconsistency (n=4) for biological stakeholders. (n=12) programs (n=9) routine monitoring parameters across (n=6) countries or even within countries (n=12)
Progress: WP1 GAPS 3. Systematic scientific literature review ∗ Search in Web of science core collection 2008 - 28.2.2019 with search terms: “Baltic Sea” AND “monitor* OR assessment” ∗ Results: 1865 hits 1100 relevant ∗ Division into G(eneral), B(iological), P(hysical), C(hemical) ∗ Screening of abstracts and classified them into U – Uncertain, R - Relevant, N - Not Relevant ∗ Reading of entire paper if abstracts rated R & U, search for “monitor*” to find the relevant parts where authors potentially did handle gaps in monitoring
Systematic Scientific Literature Review – first results nr Thematic category We found 251 notations* of a certain 6 BS1: Clear water thematic monitoring category in the 12 BS11: Viable populations of species reviewed relevant articles, of which then 6 BS2: Concentrations of hazardous substances some had been mentioned in combination of 1 BS4: Healthy wildlife the noted gaps. 3 BS5: Natural level of algal blooms 4 BS7: No alien species 1 BS9: Safe maritime traffic 3 D1: Biodiversity 6 D10: Marine litter 7 D2: Non-indigenous species 20 D3: Commercial fish and shellfish 14 D4: Food webs 28 D5: Eutrophication 7 D6: Sea-floor integrity 15 D7: Hydrographical conditions 11 D8: Contaminants 2 D9: Contaminants in seafood 103 O: Other category 1 QE1: Biological 1 QE3: Physico-chemical * One article can have multiple counts (if different descriptors/indicators/gaps are mentioned)
Main questions for the literature review Do the authors 1. describe gaps regarding the monitoring of an existing indicator for a certain descriptor? 2. see a need for another indicator to reflect the descriptor adequately? 3. see gaps regarding data storage of a certain indicator? 4. propose a new descriptor? 5. see further monitoring gaps?
Progress: WP1 GAPS Systematic Scientific Literature Review – gap categories sneak preview We found 180 notations of different type gaps in the reviewed scientific articles: ∗ 28 times G1: not sufficiently monitored (no additional information) ∗ 47 times G1A: non-sufficient spatial monitoring ∗ 19 times G1B: non-sufficient temporal monitoring ∗ 24 times G1C: not sufficiently monitored (other) ∗ 32 times G2: missing or not appropriate indicator ∗ 1 time G3: missing thematic category (e.g. missing "descriptor") in monitoring ∗ 6 times G4: problems with data storage or handling ∗ 12 times G5: indicator in development, not yet operational or decided upon ∗ 7 times G6: coordination of monitoring ∗ 4 times G7: costs too high ∗ In 81 cases, a gap was noted but no further information was given (GNI: no information). ∗ Finalized in May ∗ Discussions on cooperation with BONUS SEAM on policy brief and review article
WP 2: Identify novel methods Lead: Uni Duisburg Essen, Daniel Hering/ Sebastian Birk
Progress WP2: Novel methods ∗ Parameters to describe novel monitoring methods: ∗ Characterization of general methodology, sampling, sample treatment, data treatment and data storage/management ∗ Rating of reliability, indicative value, added value, applicability and cost-efficiency https://www.netigate.se/ra/s.aspx?s=712230X173875137X81527
Progress WP2: Novel methods Novel monitoring methods ∗ Experts for specific novel methods were identified ∗ Data collection in progress ∗ Novel methods: ∗ Remote Sensing via satellites ∗ FerryBox ∗ Vertical and horizontal profilers ∗ Drones/Gliders ∗ DNA-based methods (eDNA, DNA barcoding, ...) ∗ Stable isotope analysis ∗ Citizen science ∗ Monitoring of Ecosystem Services, emerging pollutants (microplastics)
Progress WP2: Novel methods ∗ Develop a searchable database on novel monitoring methods (July) ∗ Review article (December) ∗ Discussions on cooperation with BONUS SEAM on policy brief and review article
WP3: Renewed plan Lead: SYKE, Laura Uusitalo Systematic mapping* of methods to assess cost-efficiency of monitoring ∗ Search in Web of Science & Scopus~1700 abstracts ∗ Abstract screening (May) ∗ Information extracted from full text (August) ∗ Peer-reviewed article submitted (January 2020) * See: James et al. 2016 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13750-016-0059-6
WP3: Renewed plan ∗ Work on the Renewed plan starts in August with knowledge transfer from WP1: Gaps and WP2: Novel methods to WP3 during BSSC meeting in Stockholm ∗ 3 Policy briefs (Gaps, Novel Methods, Future Baltic monitoring) ∗ Ready in March 2020 + 3 Policy briefs + review articles
