Draft guidance for MSFD 2018 reporting:

Draft guidance for MSFD 2018 reporting:
Irene del Barrio (EEA) March 1, 2017 14th meeting of WG DIKE, Brussels Draft guidance for MSFD 2018 reporting: update of articles 8, 9 & 10

From 2012 to 2018: improvements Link to WFD, RSCs and CFP assessments
Revised GES Decision and MSFD Annex III Less information requested

From 2012 to 2018: key changes Art.9 (in schema ‘Art.9 GES determination’ and ‘Art.8.1ab assessments’): Dropped: ReferencePointType, Baseline, AssessmentMethod, DevelopmentStatus Added: Parameter, TVsource, ProportionTVunit, DeterminationDate Art.8.1ab (schema ‘Art.8.1ab assessments’): Dropped: all tables/fields related to the analysis of the essential features and characteristics, and all tables/fields related to the characterisation of pressures Added: a generic schema to collect the results of the assessment of the features (state and pressures) against the thresholds defined for the GES criteria. It includes 2 classes (the 1st to report at the parameter level and the 2nd to report integrated results, where the integration rule is requested). The class StatePressures (parameter level), is linked to indicators via the field ‘RelatedIndicators’. Ranking of pressures (linked to State assessments) dropped. Indicators schema will be used to collect the basic information on the essential characteristics and pressures Art.10 (in schema ‘Art.10Targets’ and ‘Art.8.1ab assessments’): Dropped: ReferencePointType, Baseline, AssessmentMethod, DevelopmentStatus, InterimGESTarget, CompatibilityExistingTargets Added: Parameter, TVsource, ProportionTVunit, RelatedToMeasure, UpdateDate, ProgressAssessment DC- Art 9 Related indicators seems to be part of Art 8

General approach Indicator-based:
Common indicator structure to be used for publication of indicators at the regional and national level (where all the methodologies and relevant information is explained, and links to the data used) In the reporting exercise (XML files to be uploaded to CDR), an indicator schema has been included to capture key fields (e.g. URL to indicator publication) Reporting units: The development of a common layer of Marine Reporting Units (MRUs) is proposed prior to the reporting, to integrate the coding in the reporting system However, agreements at the (sub)regional level are needed on assessment scales, where new subdivisions may have to be included in the MRUs layer DC – if we don’t have 2016 updates of CW for WFD, do we not have those from previous reporting? Perhaps a more likely gap is the territorial waters polygons which I understand were not reported before 2016. To be discussed: Coastal water bodies (as reported by WFD): have been proposed to be included in the MRUs, but not all MS may have reported under WFD by 2018, jeopardizing the development of the layer. Proposal: to include only ‘Coastal waters’ per RBD (approach to be explained in slide correspondant to the schema of assessments)

Reporting package: XML
5 schemas have been developed to cover the 3 articles: Schema name Reporting scale Contents Article MSFD9_GES 1 file per MS GES determination at the Feature level Article 9 MSFD8_1ab_Assessments Assessment results concerning the extent to which GES has been achieved for the different elements, including thresholds or target values Articles 8.1ab, 9 & 10 MSFD8_1c_ESA Socio-economic analysis of the uses of marine waters and the costs of degradation Article 8.1c Indicators Basic information on the indicators used by the MS (national or regional) for the assessments, including links to where published and to underlying datasets Article 8.1ab and Art.19.3 MSFD10_Targets Targets definition at the Feature level Art.10 All the schemas include metadata on the reporter, Marine Reporting Unit and Feature to which they apply. To be discussed: Reporting scale: 1 file/MS or 1 file/MS/region or subregion?? Art.10: assessment of progress on targets is to be reported under Art.8.1ab assessments schema. Better to include the relevant fields to report on that in Art.10 schema?? - Need to include use of indicators in Art 8.1c?

Reporting package: Indicators assessment
Regional and national indicators to be published online, according to the common indicator structure GD13 (Annex V of the draft reporting guidance: XSD) To be discussed: Is there a need of including a mapping in the reporting guidance between the Indicators schema to be used for reporting and the common indicator structure to be used for publication?? Publication of the indicators may not jeopardize the reporting: to decide ways to proceed for cases where publication is not achievable

Reporting package: Supporting data
Art.19.3 implementation: data sets resulting from art. 8 assessments and from art.11 monitoring programmes be made available in accordance with INSPIRE (IR on interoperability of SDSS): Data specifications (data models, code lists…) Spatial data services (discovery, view, download…) The Indicators schema includes the class “Datasets”, in which information to check the points above is requested.

Reporting package: Text-based reports

Features and elements to be assessed
Features (Annex III tables): species groups, broad habitat types, pressures, activities…(a list of Ecosystem services has also been added…) Theme Sub-theme Feature Species Birds Grazing birds Wading birds Surface-feeding birds Pelagic-feeding birds Benthic-feeding birds Mammals Small toothed cetaceans Deep-diving toothed cetaceans Baleen whales Seals Reptiles Turtles Fish Coastal fish Pelagic shelf fish Demersal shelf fish Deep-sea fish Cephalopods Coastal/shelf cephalopods Deep-sea cephalopods Biological Input or spread of non-indigenous species Input of microbial pathogens Input of genetically modified species and translocation of native species Loss of, or change to, natural biological communities due to cultivation of animal or plant species Disturbance of species (e.g. where they breed, rest and feed) due to human presence Extraction of, or mortality/injury to, wild species (by commercial and recreational fishing and other activities) Physical Physical disturbance to seabed (temporary or reversible) Physical loss (due to permanent change of seabed substrate or morphology and to extraction of seabed substrate) Changes to hydrological conditions Substances, litter and energy Input of nutrients – diffuse sources, point sources, atmospheric deposition Input of organic matter – diffuse sources and point sources Input of other substances (e.g. synthetic substances, non-synthetic substances, radionuclides) – diffuse sources, point sources, atmospheric deposition, acute events Input of litter (solid waste matter, including micro-sized litter) Input of anthropogenic sound (impulsive, continuous) Input of other forms of energy (including electromagnetic fields, light and heat) Input of water – point sources (e.g. brine) Ecosystems, including food webs Physical and hydrological characteristics Topography and bathymetry Sea temperature Ice cover Salinity Current velocity Wave exposure Upwelling Mixing characteristics Residence time Turbidity Transparency Chemical characteristics Nutrient levels (DIN, TN, DIP, TP, TOC) Oxygen levels pH Trophic guilds Primary producers Secondary producers Filter-feeders Deposit-feeders Planktivores Sub-apex pelagic predators Sub-apex demersal predators Apex predators Habitats Benthic habitats Littoral rock and biogenic reef Littoral sediment Infralittoral rock and biogenic reef Infralittoral coarse sediment Infralittoral mixed sediment Infralittoral sand Infralittoral mud Circalittoral rock and biogenic reef Circalittoral coarse sediment Circalittoral mixed sediment Circalittoral sand Circalittoral mud Offshore circalittoral rock and biogenic reef Offshore circalittoral coarse sediment Offshore circalittoral mixed sediment Offshore circalittoral sand Offshore circalittoral mud Upper bathyal rock and biogenic reef Upper bathyal sediment Lower bathyal rock and biogenic reef Lower bathyal sediment Abyssal Pelagic habitats Variable salinity Coastal Shelf Oceanic/beyond shelf

Features and elements to be assessed
For certain features, the specific element covered should be provided (species, habitat, contaminant, marine litter category…), where the name and, where necessary, a code will be requested. In particular: Species (D1, 2 & 3): species name and LSID from WoRMS Habitats (D1 & 6): habitat name and EUNIS code (2017) [or HD code] Contaminants (D8 & 9): contaminant name and code as in WISE Data Dictionary Marine litter (D10): MarineLitterCategories_Enum (Annex IVe) To be discussed: - Do MS agree with the codes proposed to be used? Is there a need of including lists of species, habitats and contaminants to be assessed per region in the reporting guidance? Features list will include theme (e.g. Species) and sub-theme (e.g. Birds), as in previous rounds of reporting. DC - Contaminants normally use CAS codes

Justification - GESdetermination Description Biological diversity is maintained. The quality and occurrence of habitats and the distribution and abundance of species are in line with prevailing physiographic, geographic and climate conditions. The effects of contaminants on selected biological processes and taxonomic groups are within agreed levels (relevant OSPAR EcoQO). Le bon état écologique est atteint lorsque: 1) soit les teneurs en nutriments ne présentent pas un niveau élevé (critère 5.1) et lorsqu’il n’y a pas d’impacts directs (critère 5.2) ou indirects (critère 5.3) liés à l’enrichissement excessif des eaux par les nutriments sur l’utilisation durable des biens et services écosystémiques 2) soit il n’y a pas… Ein guter Umweltzustand ist erreicht, wenn für alle kommerziell befischten Fischbestände, die in deutschen Ostseegebieten vorkommen, die fischereiliche Sterblichkeit (F) geringer ist als der entsprechende Referenzwert (FMSY). Mögliche Grundlage zur Beschreibung des guten Umweltzustands ist der ICES Advice Timescale 2020 DeterminationDate 2012 DC – should determination date be specified to month?? E.g

Schemas: Art.8.1c To be discussed:
Socioeconomic analysis: IndicatorsUsed Description CostDegradationApproach CostDegradationDescription CostDegradationResults To be discussed: Does the indicator-approach fit here? Are the fields enough or are others needed? Further discussion needed in WG POMESA Proposal for futher improvement. Having 2 sections: uses and activities: supported by indicator assessments for Production, Value added, Employment and Other (as per 2012) cost of degradation: supported by indicator assessments for costs to reduce pressures and costs for lost ecosystem services.
