1 Launching the core indicators! Samuli Korpinen HELCOM CORESET 14-17 May 2013, Riga

2 Abundance of key fish species Abundance of fish key functional groups Proportion of large fish in the community Abundance of sea trout spawners and parr Abundance of salmon spawners and smolt Zooplankton mean size and total abundance State of the soft-bottom macrofauna communities Population structure of long-lived macrozoobenthic species Red-listed benthic biotopes Trends 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 mammals Nutritional status of seals Number of drowned mammals and waterbirds in fishing gears What core indicators do we have? Pre-core indicators for Biodiversity Number of waterbirds being oiled annually Lower depth distribution limit of macrophyte species Cumulative impact on benthic habitats Extent and distribution of benthic biotopes Samuli Korpinen / HELCOM CORESET

4 Next steps Operationalization -Mammals: -Birds: -Fish: -Seabed: -Zooplankton: -Aliens: Samuli Korpinen / HELCOM CORESET CORESET II 2013- 2015 Strengthening the GES boundaries, harbour porpoise abundance, database Monitoring 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!
