A literature study of human activities and pressures as well as ecosystem component layers available for Marine Spatial Planning and mapping of cumulative impacts in Swedish marine waters
No full textWe report a literature study on the needs for and the availability of data layers required for evidence-based Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) as well as mapping of the potential cumulative effects of multiple human activities. Specific focus is on data layers representing a variety of human activities and pressures as well as data layers representing ecologically-relevant species, habitats and communities. The aim of the study is to provide guidance for the Swedish SYMPHONY initiative and process, which ultimately is planned to result in a Swedish national data-driven ‘system’ for MSP and mapping of cumulative effects (Cumulative Effect Assessments; CEA). With this report and its conclusions and recommendations, the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (SwAM) now holds the sufficient information required to – step by step – develop a nation-wide framework supporting evidence-based MSP and CEA. The crucial first step in this process is the build-up of an ecologically-relevant catalogue of pressure layers and ecosystem component layers
Gradientstudier af menneskelige presfaktorer i danske havområder
No full textWe report the first ever ranking of the relative importance of human stressors along land-sea gradients based on a cumulative impact assessment sensu the methodology developed and published by Halpern et al. in 2008 and 2015. The study is based on a comprehensive Danish data set, originating from a broad range of projects and activities and a subsequent mapping of potential cumulative impacts of multiple human stressors in the Danish marine environment. The study is based on 35 data layers representing human stressors and 47 data layers representing ecosystem components. Our results document that the Danish marine waters, which are impaired, are prone to a wide range of human stressors. When combining individual stressors into groups, the top 5 groups are: (1) nutrients, (2) climate anomalies, (3) non-indigenous species (NIS), 4) contaminants and (5) fisheries. Gradient studies have focused on 16 case studies (where estuarine/fjord systems are linked to coastal and open waters) and we document land-sea gradients for key groups of stressors and how the relative importance of these vary, in some cases substantially (e.g. for the stressors Nutrients, Contaminants, Fishing, Non-indigenous species, Noise and Shipping).Denne rapport omhandler kortlægning og rangordning af potentielt kumulative effekter af menneskelige aktiviteter i de danske farvande. Tidligere studier har vurderet de potentielle kumulative effekter af multiple menneskelige aktiviteter i såvel Østersøen (HELCOM HOLAS-projektet; se HELCOM 2010 og Korpinen et al. 2012) som i de østlige dele af Nordsøen (HARMONY-projektet; se Andersen & Stock 2013), men har kun på et overordnet plan vurderet de forskellige aktiviteters indbyrdes betydning. Undersøgelsesområdet er de danske farvande i overgangszonen mellem Nordsøen og Østersøen, hvorfra vi har indsamlet et robust datasæt baseret på eksisterende offentlig tilgængelig information hvad angår både presfaktorer (n = 35) og økosystem-komponenter (n = 47). Med udgangspunkt i ovennævnte datasæt har vi beregnet de potentielt kumulative effekter af multiple menneskelige aktiviteter samt gjort rede for betydningen af de forskellige presfaktorer. En rangordning baseret på en gruppering af presfaktorer er som følger (1) næringsstoffer, (2) klimaændringer, (3) ikkehjemmehørende arter, (4) miljøfarlige stoffer (5) fiskeri, (6) mikroplastik, (7) støj, (8) skibstrafik og (9) fysisk modifikation. Vi har desuden analyseret den relative betydning af menneskelige aktiviteter (eksklusiv klimaændringer) langs en gradient fra fjord til åbent hav i 16 case studies. Vi finder at den relative betydning varierer fra land til hav, og at nogle presfaktorer (bl.a. næringsstoffer, ikke-hjemmehørende arter og mikroplastik i sediment) betyder relativt mere i fjorde og kystvande, mens andre (bl.a. fiskeri og støj) betyder relativt mere i åbne farvande.Danish Agriculture and Food CouncilpublishedVersio
Farvandsområderne behandlet i denne OSPAR COMP3-assessment består af de danske dele af Nordsøen, Skagerrak, Kattegat samt de nordlige og centrale dele af Øresund.
No full textWe report eutrophication status 2006-2014 of the Danish parts of the North Sea, Skagerrak, Kattegat and northern and central parts of the Sound and have accordingly identified Eutrophication Problem Areas (EPAs) and Eutrophication Non-Problem areas (NPAs). All coastal waters, where the classification is based on the 2014 Danish Initial Assessment pursuant to the WFD, are classified as EPAs. For the open parts of the North Sea and Skagerrak, we have identified these as NPAs, which is in accordance with earlier indicator-based assessment of the eutrophication status. For the open part of the Kattegat and the Sound, the classifications are also in accordance with long-term monitoring and assessment of the eutrophication status, i.e. EPAs. Further, using long-term satellite-based monitoring of surface waters, we have focused on the separation of EPAs and NPAs in the North Sea and Skagerrak and have provided a more accurate delineation compared to previous Danish assessment of the eutrophication status in the areas.Farvandsområderne behandlet i denne OSPAR COMP3 assessment består af de danske dele af Nordsøen, Skagerrak, Kattegat samt de nordlige og centrale dele af Øresund. Det undersøgte områdes miljømæssige status og dets fysiske karakteristika, heriblandt salinitetsgradienter, fra saltholdige farvandsområder i Nordsøen til brakvandsområder i Kattegat, er overordnet set veldokumenterede. Miljøklassifikationen for store dele af området er lav pga. den store næringsstofbelastning (der resulterer i eutrofiering), tilførsel og aflejring af miljøfarlige stoffer, fiskeri og fysiske modifikationer. Denne OSPAR COMP3 er baseret på WFDs basisanalyse af økologisk status i kystvandene, MSFDs basisanalyse og omfattende analyse af satellitbaserede observationer af klorofyl a-koncentrationer. Herved er kystnære eutrofierede områder og ikke-kystnære eutrofierede områder blevet adskilt.Agency for Water and Nature Management (SVANA
Identification of areas suitable for restoration of boulder reefs in the south-eastern Great Belt
No full textFormålet med denne rapport og de gennemførte analyser har været at udpege områder i det sydøstlige Storbælt, hvor der potentielt kan etableres stenrev. Baggrund for arbejdet har været et ønske fra Slagelse Kommune om på sigt at gen¬etablere stenrev i kommunens kystområder. Rapporten, og dens anbefalinger, skal ses som et første trin i denne proces.
Rapporten, der er gennemført i samarbejde med Danmarks og Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelser (GEUS), er baseret på data indsamlet i anden regi, først og fremmest projekterne BALANCE, EUSeaMap 1 og EUSeaMap 2. Disse data er specifikt anlyseret med fokus på det sydøstlige Storbælt. Fokus i analyserne har været på økologiskrelevante data, bl.a. sediment¬typer, lysforhold, salinitet og eksponeringsgrad. På grundlag af disse data er der produceret høj-opløselige ’habitatkort’, herunder identificeret de kombinationer af forhold, som er nødvendige, for at genetablerede stenrev kan anses for stabile og for at der kan udvikles robuste samfund af dyr og planter. Endelig er der på baggrund af identifikationen af potentielt velegnede områder givet en række anbefalinger, som kan understøtte Slagelse Kommune i den videre proces.During the last decade, there has been a growing interest in the role and conservation of the protected marine nature type ’stone reefs’. A number of restoration projects have taken place in Denmark and the potential role of stone reefs for environmental and conservation status has been analyses, e.g. with regard to their role as a supplementary measure in areas affected by seasonal hypoxia.
The objective of this report, and the analysis on which it is based, has been to designate areas of potential interest with regard to restoration of stone reefs in the south-eastern parts of the Great Belt, Denmark. The driver has been a long-term wish from Slagelse Municipality to potentially restore stone reefs in a potentially interesting and ecologically-relevant coastal waterbody. This report and the results should been seen as a first step in this process. The report, which has been written in collaboration with GEUS (The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland), is based on data from the BALANCE, EUSeaMap 1 and EUSeaMap 2 projects, which have been re-analysed with a specific focus on the south-eastern parts of the Great Belt, Denmark. Key focus was put on ecologically-relevant data sets, e.g. bathymetry, sediment types, light conditions, salinity and exposure. Based on this, we have produced high resolution broad-scale seafloor habitat maps including an identification of those combinations of features indicative of stable stone reefs with thriving benthic communities.Slagelse Kommune, Danmar

Classification of ‘chemical status’ in Danish marine waters. A pilot study
No full textWe report the testing and demonstration of an updated version of the CHASE tool (the HELCOM/HARMONY Chemical Status Assessment Tool) in Danish marine waters leading to a classification of ‘chemical status’. The classification is based on non-normalized data from monitoring of hazardous substances under the Danish National Aquatic Monitoring and Assessment Program, i.e. the marine sub-program. Since the classifications are based on un-normalized data, the results should be considered provisional. The background for the work is a wish by the EMODnet Chemistry project to test a tool combining data with a known quality and to tentatively map ‘problem areas’ and ‘non-problem areas’ with respect to contaminants in the marine environment. Following up on this work, next steps would include normalization of data (for sediments with respect to the content of organic matter and for biota with respect to lipid content). In a long-term perspective, we have demonstrated ‘the power of combining data’ and hopefully paved the road for a wider use of multi-metric indicator-based assessment tools.Aarhus University / European Commission (DG MARE
