  1. Water Framework Directive Directive 2000/60/EC Intercalibration for coastal and transitional waters Wendy Bonne JRC

  2. Coastal and transitional waters • Presentation = fact sheets for each important topic in the intercalibration process • Milestone report 1 = crucial to understand development and reality in the GIGs, also for the COAST coordinator, to set priorities • Worries emerging from reports and way forward • COAST coordinator homework – MS homework – WISER homework

Spain difficult + Italy NOT: finances Fish fauna No participa-tion Portugal outside PT No experts yet

  5. Intercalibration organisation problems – GIG / BQE / IC groups • Problem of lack of BQE leads • Way forward for the moment from COAST coordinator: • Expert contact list update of 4 GIGs: about 250 experts in total – contact your colleagues for problem solving • Exchange contact list + cross-GIG overview + method description structure with WISER experts • Better Black Sea contact establishment in their next meeting + MED steering committee meeting • Read the Milestone report of your BQE in other GIGs - cross-GIG overview ! • But this is not sufficient to efficiently guide the process • COAST meeting in January 2010: proposals for BQE leads • Phytoplankton is in highest need of cross-GIG exchange !

  6. Information provision contained mainly planning Baltic Sea NEA MED Black Sea No sufficient detail Phytoplankton ? OK detailed OK detailed OK No sufficient detail Macroalgae ? OK detailed OK OK No sufficient detail Angiosperms ? OK detailed OK OK No further action planned Macrobenthic Invertebrates ? OK detailed OK detailed OK IC ? silence ? silence Fish fauna ? OK detailed OK detailed

  7. IC Commission Decision Coastal Waters Black Sea 2MS Baltic Sea 8MS NEA 10 MS + NO MED 7MS Phytoplankton 6 of 8 MS 6 of 7 MS 2 MS 10 MS +NO 8 of 10 MS Macroalgae 5 of 7 MS 6 of 9 MS Angiosperms 2 of 7 MS 4 of 9 MS Macrobenthic Invertebrates All 10 MS + NO 2 of 8 MS 4 of 7 MS 2 MS Fish fauna

  8. Assessment method availability MED 7MS+HR +GIB Baltic Sea 8MS Black Sea 2MS NEA 10 MS + NO CW+TW: NO, under develop-ment, Try-out of metrics, List compiled Under develop-ment in MS separately, Try-out of metrics, List to compile Phytoplankton Blooms/ Composition NO, under development,Try-out of metrics NO, under development,Try-out of metrics TW All 8 MS metrics, 4 all parameters, overview availa-ble , Try-out common metrics NO, Planned, proper transects jointly selected Macroalgae CW+TW: NO, under develop-ment, List compiled CW: 5 of 7 MS TW: NO, under development, List to compile 4 of 8 MS have metrics, overview available, to refine in WISER NO, Planned, proper transects jointly selected Angiosperms CW+TW: NO, under develop-ment, List compiled CW: 4 of 7 MS TW: NO, under development, List to compile 6 of 8 MS methods, over-view available, to refine in WISER quest. CW OK 5 of 7 MS, + under develop-ment hard bottom TW: GR, ES, IT, FR 1 or 2 methods Macrobenthic Invertebrates TW Methods by Jan-Feb 2010 info No further action planned Methods known for all 8 MS, DK no TW FR OK No methods for ES, IT, GR Fish fauna RO, BU ? LV, PO, LI ?

  9. Assessment method lack / development problems • MS have not developed lacking methods during the last 6 years • MS will maybe demonstrate that some of them are impossible to assess in a meaningful way • What is the truth ? • Expected from WISER experts (with support of experience of IC Steering Committee) to provide independent demonstration/ opinion on method development feasibility • If confirmed, jointly with IC Panel, accepted as final result for IC • If not, MS will experience some pressure to accept a simple common metric proposal from WISER, until a more refined method is worked out (update of IC Commission Decision with sufficient scientific progress/new development)

  10. WFD compliance Baltic Sea Black Sea NEA MED YES started Methods description worked out to check compliance Phytoplankton Only for biomass (total biovolume) Discussion next meeting No plans yet Macroalgae CW + TW: YES, to be started CW YES, started No plans yet Silence Angiosperms Compliance of 1st phase planned CW YES, started CW + TW: YES, to be started No plans yet Macrobenthic Invertebrates CW YES, DE, DK, SE, FI, EE started, check different sensitivity TW: YES, Planned for Jan-Feb 2009 NO further action planned CW + TW: NO action planned YES started Methods hardly WFD compatib-le, FR broader applicable YES 2 workshops + 1 Oct 09 Common sampling Fish fauna ? ?

  11. Typology Baltic Sea Black Sea NEA MED CW: no revision planned TW: Preparation made, decision to be taken CW: subdivision considered TW: list common types by end October 2009 Phytoplankton CW: current typology, revi-sion considered in 2010 1 type, none to be added CW: no subdivision TW: list common types by end October 2009 Macroalgae 1 type, none to be added CW: maybe new type considered Redefinition of typology CW: subject to debate TW: list common types by end October 2009 Angiosperms 1 type, none to be added CW: maybe new type considered Redefinition of typology CW: no revision planned TW: Preparation made, decision to be taken by Oct CW: subdivision considered like phytoplankton + hard bottom TW: list by Oct09 Macrobenthic Invertebrates Hard substrate ? No further action planned CW: typology being refined Fish fauna Typology prepared, decision next meeting Coastal/ transitional WB designation issues ? ?

  12. Typology problems • Coastal waters or transitional waters category for fish: distinction between two categories not always clear • Response from Member States for transitional waters needed • Hard substrate considerations – intertidal/subtidal • Problem lack of BQE leads for BQE specific sub-typology • COAST meeting in January 2010: typology propositions will have to be presented • Matches with reference conditions (reported in assessment methods overview) have to be checked!

  13. Pressures Baltic Sea Black Sea NEA MED Improve dose/response analysis eutrophication Phytoplankton Eutrophi-cation Lacking data hazardous subst., hydro-morphology EutrophicationVague on BSP Eutrophication Macroalgae EutrophicationGeneral degradation: BSP ? Same pressures, but which ones ? CW + TW: YES, to be started EutrophicationGeneral degradation: BSP ? Angiosperms Eutrophication Only DK method tested Same pressures, but which ones ? CW + TW: YES, to be started Eutrophication/ general degrad Check species sensitivity classification Organic enrichment, hazard. subst. / General degradation Macrobenthic Invertebrates Hard substrate ? No further action planned Organic enrichment Not commonly evaluated, FR in relation to land use cover GIS Fish fauna Very different data in relation to pressures ? ?

  14. Reference conditions Baltic Sea Black Sea NEA MED Phytoplankton Blooms/Composition Only for biomass (total biovolume) CW: Ref sites TW: Common understanding by Nov 09 CW + TW: YES, to be started No plans yet General consideration No plans yet for detail Macroalgae CW: Ref sites TW: Common understanding by Nov 09 CW + TW: YES, to be started No plans yet General consideration No plans yet for detail Angiosperms CW: debate TW: Common understanding by Nov 09 CW + TW: YES, to be started No plans yet TW: ref cond/ benchmark with common dataset Oct 09 CW: Ref cond TW: Common understanding by Nov 09 Macrobenthic Invertebrates No further action planned No plans yet for detail Fish fauna No compari-son due to different sampling Planned After finishing methods IC ? ?

  15. Reference conditions Way forward • How to control all the different situations on reference conditions definitions? • More detailed overview state-of-the-art by November 2009 based on technical report and received information of the 1st round of intercalibration • This will be supplemented • by the WISER methods’ information compilation • + additional questions to the GIGs (some advice is always welcome for this, like from WG RC 5 nov. 2009) • Clear weaknesses have to be highlighted • Link with reference conditions in rivers: downstream – upstream consistency

  16. Compliance and reference conditions problems • COAST meeting in January 2010: overview of reference conditions for compliance checking will be presented • Typology correspondence with reference conditions has to be checked! • Comparison of reference conditions is necessary (even if you use completely different methods in option 3, a common understanding on reference conditions should be agreed, also for fish) • Alien species: some coastal water community assessment methods (macrobenthic invert. fauna, macroalgae) include significant impact of alien species assessment (if aliens absent in reference) – comparison of outcome with methods that do not is needed • Consistency with and joint efforts with Marine Strategy Framework Directive !!!

  17. Common dataset development Baltic Sea Black Sea NEA MED NO MS datasets, common metadata set to be discussed Phytoplankton NO, MS datasets + common meta-data, possible IC sites to define YES planned by end Oct 2009, metadata being collected YES planned efforts to collect data Macroalgae YES planned, proper sample transects jointly selected Not clear yet, metadata, IC selection YES planned, not started yet Not clear yet for total MED Angiosperms YES planned, proper sample transects jointly selected YES planned, not started yet Not clear yet, metadata, IC selection Not clear yet for total MED Macrobenthic Invertebrates YES EE, LV + LT so far YES TW: planned for Oct 2009 YES planned, no deadline given No further action planned YES, IC Common field sampling in Mar Menor – 1st data Oct09 + extra 2010 Fish fauna YES IC Common field sampling Weser – dataset in FR by Dec 09 ? ?

  18. MED Black Sea Baltic Sea NEA IC option Phytoplankton Option (1or) 2 for biomass (biovolume) Discussion next meeting Option 1 considered Option 2 ? Not known yet, option 2 considered Macroalgae Option 1 considered Not known yet Option 2 Angiosperms Not known yet, option 2 considered Option 1 considered Not known yet Option 2 Macrobenthic Invertebrates Option 3 (or 2) Option 3 No further action planned Option 3 Fish fauna ? ?

  20. COAST coordinator homework and MS homework + Wiser homework COAST coordinator homework • Facilitating communication between Member States • Keep an eye on compliance – IC process • Start with reference conditions overview • Present your products in a nice structural way in the new technical report: also important as living document during the process, not only at the end • Start with methods overview structure in correspondence with WISER questionnaire + reference conditions • Shared information can prevent reinventing the wheel

  21. MS homework • Plan the date of your next GIG / BQE lead meetings to come to a fruitful exchange, also with the COAST coordinator, as was the case in the Baltic Sea GIG • Take care of the WISER questionnaire for methods overview + questions for review of reference conditions • High expectations for february 2010 • At COAST meeting in January 2010 MS will have to present: • TW Typology (revision for CW) propositions • CW and TW Methods overview • CW and TW Compiled common datasets • Candidates for BQE leads to support cross-GIG consistency

  22. WISER homework • At COAST meeting in January 2010 WISER to present • Their gathered datasets • Their views on development of common metrics and their compliance with WFD

  23. Consider methods of your neighbour when you don’t have one: this is maybe the only exam in your life where copying from your neighbour is allowed if your neighbour is happy with that • I amnotableto solveyourproblems ! • But I will support you in finding a wayforproblemsolving • Everyone has itsrole, sopleasetakeit up • Thanksforyourcooperation to try to make the puzzle • without becomingpuzzledyourself
