This dataset represents the underlying data on core indicator Trends in arrival of new non-indigenous species for HELAS 3. This dataset contains reported observations of alien species on HELCOM Assessment unit level 2. The core indicator evaluates status of arrival of new non-indigenous species whether it reflects good environmental status. Quantitative thresholds are used to evaluate if core indicators status is Good, Not good or Not assessed. The assessment is done for HELCOM Assessment unit level 1 (whole Baltic Sea). Attribute information: "HELCOM_ID" = ID of HELCOM Level 2 assessment unit "Level_2" = Name of assessment unit "Area_km2" = Area of assessment unit "Threshold_v" = Threshold value (0 = no alien species observed) "Observatio" = Observed value (0 = no alien species observed, 1 = alien species observed) "Confidence" = Confidence of assessment "Species" = Species observed in assessment unit "Status" = Status of assessment unit (Fail / Achieve / Not assessed) "AULEVEL" = Level of the Assessment unit

This core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment based on the arrival of new non-indigenous species. The new NIS have been detected both through regular environmental monitoring activities and incidental sightings. The data have been verified by national experts. Monitoring is not considered to sufficiently cover all areas of the Baltic Sea and hot spot areas for new introductions (e.g. ports) to allow for the conclusion that in areas where no new NIS have been observed there have not been any new introductions. This dataset displays the result of the indicator in HELCOM Assessment Scale 1 (whole Baltic Sea). Attribute information: "level_1" = Name of the HELCOM scale 1 assessment unit "Area (km2)" = Area of the HELCOM scale 1 assessment unit "Status" = Status of the indicator (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”) "AULEVEL" = Assessment unit level used for the indicator
