Game hunting of seabirds (HOLAS 2)

Amount of hunted birds (number of birds/area) per year per area (county) is given separately for each target species: common scooter (Melanitta nigra), velvet scoter (Melanitta fusca), eider (Somateri molissima) and long tailed duck (Clangula hymalis).


The data was made available by HELCOM Contracting Parties in response to data request. The data was received from Denmark, Estonia, Finland and Sweden.


The activity was declared as not relevant in Germany, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.


For each species, a total number of hunted birds during the time period and a calculated average (hunted birds/year), is given.

Data includes a total number (sum) of all hunted birds during the time period per county (total number of hunted birds/ county) and an average for hunted birds annually (hunted individuals/year).


Velvet scoter is protected species in Sweden and Finland, and not listed as a game in Estonia. Common scoter is also protected species in Finland, thus hunting data is not available.

Statement

The time period for the data set is 2011 to 2015. (Denmark 2012-2015, Finland 2011-2014, Sweden 2011-2015).


The data is mostly based on voluntary reporting by huntsmen and therefore the game bag does not necessarily represent an exact value of hunted individuals. As a consequence, the data holds large uncertainties and is probably underestimated.


The number of hunted birds were mostly reported per county, and for that reason the value is given to all coastal cells within the county and within 3 nautical miles from the shoreline.
