  1. EURECA’s ‘Fish Behind the Net’ (FBtN) – Spotmeter Hans FrostHans Lassen Søren Anker PedersenEEA 6 March

  2. Basis for EURECA ‘Fish Behind the Net’ Geographical and Conceptual system definition: • Review the ecosystem services provided from the marine ecosystem: • Identifying them 2. Restrict to waters the EU Seas (Black Sea, Northeast Atlantic, Mediterranean, Black Sea): Based on existing well-founded knowledge 3. Restrict to services significantly affected by commercial fisheries:Restriction will be area specific 4. Restrict to services that can be quantified and preferably valuated: Restriction will be area specific FBtN is restricted to EU waters and to ecosystem services affected by fisheries

  3. Assessing the selected ecosystem goods and services: • Identifying and quantifying them 2. Analysing consequences of context changes: Quantifying and valuing the observed trends/changes 3. Exploring resilience / sustainability issues 4. Exploring management measures to address the observed and future trends/changes What is the EURECA ‘Fish Behind the Net’- Spotmeter? Key issues of concern and stressors with regards Exploiting the marine environment based on the following ‘building blocks’: FBtN aims at providing relevant information to support the 2012 reform of the CFP

  4. EURECA’s ‘Fish Behind the Net’ (FBtN) – Spotmeter Spotmeter Indicators Status and trend assessment, based on existing indicators. Where possible, relative to established management targets or thresholds in relevant EU policies

  5. EURECA’s ‘Fish Behind the Net’ (FBtN) – Relevant Services Indicators Food Provision Regional population structures – Cultural Icon species Healthy marine ecosystems: Biodiversity Sensitive to invasive species Food provision can be quantified and valuated Regional policies Biodiversity Difficult to valuate

  6. EURECA’s ‘Fish Behind the Net’ (FBtN) – Spotmeter • Fisheries effects/impacts on • marine ecosystem services at regional level • Baltic Sea • NE-Atlantic • Mediterranean • Black Seas • and • at the full European level. European Lifestyles and Marine Ecosystems (ELME)

  7. Food provisioning Healthy ecosystem: The ‘fishing down’ effect is strong and everywhere. Pauly, 2002

  8. EURECA’s ‘Fish Behind the Net’ (FBtN) – Spotmeter Example: Survey of North Sea cod spawning grounds Cod egg survey 2004 (Fox et al., 2008)

  9. NATURA 2000-protected habitats and species in the North Sea- and Baltic Sea according to Fauna-Flora-Habitat-Directive (FFH-Directive) and the Bird Directive (BD) FFH-Habitats Sandbank, Reefs Benthic communities in FFH - Habitats FFH-Annex II Marine Mammals Harbour porpoise, Harbour Seal, Grey Seal Shad, Twaite Shad, Hounting, River Lamprey, Sea Lamprey, Sturgeon FFH-Annex II Fish Species Red-throated Diver, Black-throated Diver, Terns, Common Scoter, Long-tailed duck, etc. BD Annex I and migratory bird species
