Integration and assessment
NEAT (Nested Environmental status Assessment Tool)
• Software for environmental assessment
• Integrative assessment across indicators
• Database with >600 indicators (DEVOTool)
• Customizable by the user
• Includes uncertainty
• Available free of charge for Windows and OS http://www.devotes-project.eu/neat

The NEAT method • All indicators are assigned to a combination of:
• SAU
• Habitat
• Ecosystem component
• For each indicator you need: • Range of values (minimum/maximum)
• Target value (boundary good/not good)
• A value and a standard error
SAU Habitat Ecosystem component Indicator
Regional Sea Pelagic Fish Biomass of pelagic fish
Regional Sea Sand Benthic fauna Dominance of polychaetes
Western part Mud Benthic fauna Bivalve size classes
Little Archipelago Benthic Benthic vegetation Primary production of eelgrass
Little Archipelago Sand Fish Population size of benthic flatfish

The NEAT method
The final NEAT value is …
• … calculated as a weighted mean of all indicator values assigned to a certain defined SAU or to a combination of SAU+habitat or SAU+ecosystem component
• … expressed as a value between 0 and 1, and belonging to one of five equi-distant status classes
1 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8
threshold to good environmental status
