Abundance of key fish speciesAbundance of fish key functional groupsProportion of large fish in the communityAbundance of sea trout spawners and parr Abundance of salmon spawners and smolt Zooplankton mean size and total abundanceState of the soft-bottom macrofauna communitiesPopulation structure of long-lived macrozoobenthic speciesRed-listed benthic biotopesTrends in arrival of new non-indigenous species
White-tailed eagle productivity Abundance of waterbirds in the wintering season Abundance of waterbirds in the breeding season
Core indicators for Biodiversity
Population growth rates, abundance and distribution of marine mammals
Pregnancy rates of marine mammalsNutritional status of sealsNumber of drowned mammals and waterbirds in fishing gears
What core indicators do we have?
Pre-core indicators for BiodiversityNumber of waterbirds being oiled annuallyLower depth distribution limit of macrophyte speciesCumulative impact on benthic habitatsExtent and distribution of benthic biotopes

CORESET II 2013-2015Strengthening the GES boundaries, harbour porpoise abundance, databaseMonitoring of offshore spp., coherence of monitoring methods, GES boundaries
Pelagic fish community
Improved co-operation, macrophyte team, offshore BQI, biotope indicators.
Validation of GES boundaries
Waiting for the port surveys!
Web-placed core indicator reports to be launched in the autumn
2013!
