  5. Content • Reporting • Methodology: Basis for classification (Chapter 3) • European overview of ecological status, pressures and impacts (Chapter 5) • Ecological status, pressures and impact in different countries (Chapter 4) • Key messages • Additional questions Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  6. Reporting Transitional waters • 15 MS • 77 RBDs • Number of WBs: 953 • Average area: 18 km2 • Overall area: 17.275 km2 Coastal waters • 19 MS • 99 RBDs • Number of WBs: 2742 • Average area: 97 km2 • Overall area: 265.036 km2 Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  7. Methodology: Confidence in classification of TC waters (18%) (26%) (30%) (26%) (24%) Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  8. Methodology: Use of quality elements Transitional waters Coastal waters BQE BQE Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  9. Non- priority specific pollutants=Catchment Basin Specific Pollutants • Transitional waters • 220 substances were recorded • LV for 30 substances could be compared • For 190 substances only one MS reported limit values • Coastal waters • 202 substances were recorded. • LV for 23 substances could be compared • For 179 substances only one MS reported limit values • For transitional and coastal waters the relative difference between Min and Max LV in (%) is from 0 – 500000% (i.e.5000x) Analysis by: Jens Arle, Ulrich Claussen & Patrick Müller (Federal Environment Agency, Section of the Marine Environment, Wörlitzer Platz 1, D-06844 Dessau-Roßlau, Germany), data from: http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/ Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  10. EU overview of ecological status, pressures and impacts Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  11. EU overview of Ecological status Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  12. EU overview of Ecological status% of WBs in less than good status • The worst status for TC waters is in the Baltic sea and North-east Atlantic (Sweden, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium); • Romania and Bulgaria in the Black sea also reported large share of waters in less than good status • Reporting is still not complete Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  13. EU main pressures and impacts Transitional Coastal Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  14. EU overview of point and diffuse pollution pressures • Member states which have reported pressures, but where certain RBDs are marked as “no data reported” should indicate • whether this particular pressure has not been reported in this RBD or • whether no water bodies in this RBD are affected by this particular pressure. Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  15. EU overview of HyMo pressures • Member states which have reported pressures, but where certain RBDs are marked as “no data reported” should indicate • whether this particular pressure has not been reported in this RBD or • whether no water bodies in this RBD are affected by this particular pressure.

  16. TC waters grouping for the countries overview Based on regional seas delineation of land areas draining into the five different seas Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  17. Countries overview: transitional waters Pollution pressures Ecological status HyMo pressures Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  18. Countries overview: Coastal waters Ecological status Pollution pressures Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM

  19. Case studies • Link catchment to transitional and coastal waters • Rein • Danube • Po catchment - Northern Adriatic • Baltic sea • Specific cases • Long term trends in status of TC waters in North Spain (Basque) • Lagoons ? • Other ideas, contributions from MS?

  20. Key messages Data from 99 RBDs, 3695 WBs were reported; 76% classified, 43% H/G confidence; Results: Transitional waters are in worst status than CW (~69% less than good), main pressures point and diffuse sources and HyMo, causing altered habitats, organic and nutrient enrichment; ~48% of coastal waters is not reaching good status, main pressures point and diffuse sources, nutrient enrichment reported in more than 42%; All elements were not used for classification equally, many WBs were classified based on expert judgement; IC for BQEs was not finished at the time of classification, low level of comparability expected also for nutrients, HyMo and NP-pollutants; Status, impacts and pressures were not reported consistently by some countries; Eionet workshop 29-30 March 2012 Author:Monika Peterlin, IWRS, ETC-ICM
