Quantitative regional thresholds are used to evaluate if core indicators status is GES (good environmental status) or sub-GES (sub- good environmental status). Good status is achieved when the abundance of 75% of the considered species of a species group does not decline by more than 30% (20% in species laying only one egg per year) compared to a baseline during the reference period 1991-2000. This dataset displays the result of the indicator in HELCOM Assessment Scale 3 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins and further division into coastal and offshore areas). Attribute information: "HELCOM_ID" = ID of the HELCOM scale 3 assessment unit "level_2" = Name of scale 2 HELCOM assessment unit "level_3" = Name of scale 3 HELCOM assessment unit "Area (km2)" = Area of HELCOM assessment unit "coastal" = HELCOM ID of the coastal areas "open_sea" = Open sea assessment unit name "Abundance" = Assessed parameter "Wading feeders" = Results for the category "Wading feeders status" = Status of the indicator (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”) "Surface feeders" = Results for the category "Surface feeders status" = Status of the indicator (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”) "Pelagic feeders" = Results for the category "Pelagic feeders status" = Status of the indicator (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”) "Benthic feeders" = Results for the category "Benthic feeders status" = Status of the indicator (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”) "Grazing feeders" = Results for the category "Grazing feeders status" = Status of the indicator (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”) "AULEVEL" = Assessment unit level used for the indicator "Group area" = Name of the group area HELCOM Secretariat data@helcom.fi Oceanographic geographical features GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.theme.httpinspireeceuropaeutheme-theme breeding bird GEMET 2018-08-16 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.theme.gemet-en MADS HOLAS2 2018 Core indicator Core indicator Use constraints: Data can be used freely given that the source (HELCOM) is cited.

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. The indicator performs status evaluations by aggregating annual single species index values for all waterbird species or on the basis of aggregated indices for five species groups (wading feeders, surface feeders, pelagic feeders, benthic feeders, grazing feeders). Data sets consisted of site code, year, species and abundance. Data were supplied for a total of 1920 sites, but each species had different numbers of sites used in the analysis. The overall confidence of the indicator is currently intermediate.
