        <gco:CharacterString xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco">This core indicator evaluates the status of abundance of breeding waterbirds in the Baltic Sea region. The breeding waterbirds are considered to reflect good status when at least 75% of the considered species deviate less than 30% downwards (species laying more than one egg per year) or 20% downwards (species laying one egg per year) from the baseline condition during the reference period 1991-2000.

This dataset displays the result of the indicator in HELCOM Assessment Scale 1 (Whole Baltic Sea).

            <gco:CharacterString xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco">Following a data call in May 2017, breeding bird data of 30 species for the years 1991-2016 were supplied by
authorities from Contracting Parties of HELCOM, except Russia and Lithuania. Breeding bird abundance was
reported in numbers of breeding pairs, but Swedish data referred to numbers of males and individuals. The
use of different units did not cause problems, because calculations are done on the basis of population
indices rather than on population sizes. Data sets consisted of site code, year, species and abundance. Data
were supplied for a total of 11164 sites, but each species had different numbers of sites used in the analysis.

The confidence of the evaluations is estimated to be intermediate.
