FOCUSED REPORTING ON PROGRESS TOWARDS GES Criterion Output (per MRU) Summary per (sub)region D2C1 Number of NIS introduced in last 6-year period (& list of species) List of species, number of species reported as mean and range D3C1 & D3C2 (& D3C3 if available) Overall status per population assessed (& list of populations not assessed) List of populations (stocks), indicating which were assessed, proportion in GES D5C1-D5C8 (as used by MS) Estimate of extent (%) of area not subject to eutrophication Proportion (%) of (sub)region in GES (not subject to eutrophication) D6C1 Estimate of extent of loss of seabed Proportion (%) and extent (km2) of seabed lost D6C2 Estimate of extent of physical disturbances to seabed Proportion (%) and extent (km2) of seabed physically disturbed D6C3 Estimate of extent (%) of adverse effect by physical disturbance per habitat Proportion (%) and extent (km2) of each broad habitat type adversely affected by physical disturbance D7C1 Estimate of extent (%) of permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions Proportion (%) and extent (km2) of permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions D8C1 Proportion of contaminants assessed which achieved threshold values (uPBTs distinguished separately) List of contaminants assessed, with proportion in GES, or in GES for part of (sub)region (uPBTs and non uPBTs shown separately) D8C3 Estimate of extent of pollution events and their total duration per year Proportion (%) and extent (km2) of pollution events; mean and range of duration reported D9C1 Proportion of contaminants assessed which achieved threshold values List of contaminants assessed, with proportion in GES, or in GES for part of (sub)region D10C1 and D10C2 Estimate of amount of litter per category on the coastline Mean and range reported of amount of litter per category on the coastline Estimate of the amount of micro-litter (plastics/other) in water column and seabed sediment Mean and range reported of amount of micro-litter (plastics/other) in the water column and seabed sediment D11C1 Estimate of spatial extent (number of grid cells) of impulsive noise events and their duration (number of days), per calendar year Extent of (sub)region (as % proportion and km2) with impulsive noise events and their duration (as mean and range, in days), per calendar year D11C2 Estimate of annual average of continuous low-frequency sound level per unit area (e.g. grid cell) Mean and range of grid cell values for annual average continuous low-frequency sound level D1C1 Mortality rate per species (or population) List of species assessed, mortality rate per species (or population) per 6-year period D1C2-C5 as used by MS Overall status per species. List of species assessed per species group, proportion of species group in GES, or in GES for part of (sub)region) Proportion of species achieving good status in each species group D1C6 Estimate of proportion of habitat in good status (& list of habitats not assessed) Proportion (%) and extent (km2) of water column in GES D6C4 Estimate of the extent (%) of loss per habitat (& list of habitats not assessed) List of broad habitat types present, and proportion (%) and extent (km2) of each one assessed that has been lost D6C5 Estimate of the extent (%) of adverse effects per habitat (& list of habitats not assessed) List of broad habitat types present, and proportion (%) and extent (km2) of each one assessed that has been adversely affected To ensure the 2018 reporting exercise can provide the fullest possible perspective on progress towards achieving GES in each region and subregion: definition of priorities

PRODUCTS FROM REPORTING Building on DIKE_16-2017-09, a number of examples are provided on how the reporting outputs (summaries per (sub)region), would be displayed in WISE-Marine

Steps forward The following steps forward have been identified related to the development of the products presented: February 2018: proposal to WG DIKE, discussed with countries and amended accordingly. October 2018: draft query tool of reporting data developed and published in a test environment. Presented and discussed in WG DIKE. Spring 2019: final query tool of reporting data developed and displayed in WISE-marine.
