Introduction How COAST was organised Brief overview of the COAST Guidance Life after guidance

COAST Guidance WP1. Common Understanding of Terms WP2. Typology WP3. Reference Conditions WP4. Classification Steering Group UK Sweden Germany EEA France I would like to start by giving you a brief introduction into how the work of this group has been structured. I will then give you a brief update on the progress of each work package, and I will finish with a summary of how the group plans to finalise the guidance before the Autumn. 1st animation The Working Group has been organised through a steering group of partners - Sweden, Germany, France the EEA with the UK acting as lead partner. The working group has no formal funding and is totally supported by these partner Member States contributions of staff time and the hosting of workshops.

Working Group

COAST Meetings Sept 2001 Brussels Jan 2002 Berlin May Stockholm June Copenhagen June 2002 Paris Sept Copenhagen

WP1. Common Understanding Water categories defining transitional extent of coastal waters Types Water bodies Assigning coastal strips to the appropriate river basin Wetlands Territorial waters Lead WP1 - Germany and United Kingdom

WP2. Typology Framework - Annex II System B Lead WP2 - Germany

WP2. Typology Framework - Annex II System B Mandatory factors lat, long tidal range salinity Venice Optional factors exposure depth the others Lead WP2 - Germany

WP3. Reference Conditions Reference conditions will be expressed as ranges Lead WP3 - United Kingdom

The European Sea EuroTypes A B C E D Reference Conditions

WP3. Reference Conditions Reference conditions will be expressed as ranges Will not reflect a single date Lead WP3 - United Kingdom

WP3. Reference Conditions Reference conditions will be expressed as ranges Will not reflect a single date Represented by EQR values close to 1 Incorporate ‘very minor disturbance’ Lead WP3 - United Kingdom

Ecological Quality Ratio Deviation Status 1 High Relation of biological parameter value observed Good Slight EQR = Moderate Reference biological value Moderate Poor Bad

WP4. Classification Schemes Starting point no classification schemes meeting WFD needs no classification tools meeting WFD needs for some quality elements - no data Outlines principles Lead WP4 - EEA/WTC

WP4. Classification Toolbox Collating information on existing schemes biological classification tools from national schemes from the Conventions Lead WP4 - EEA/WTC

Greek Plant Classification Moderate Good High Poor Bad 30% 60% Mean Abundance % ESG II Opportunistic Species Stable, established community. Late successional species Mean Abundance % ESG I

Sweden - Macroalgae Scheme protected to moderately exposed hard bottom

Life After Guidance COAST - There is a need. Tasks 2003-2004 identify common types for intercalibration to establish a reference network of high status sites share information on testing & development of classification tools
