Abundance of waterbirds in the wintering season - benthic feeders 2018 (HOLAS 3)
This core indicator evaluates the status of abundance of wintering waterbirds in the Baltic Sea region, here visualized for benthic feeders. The wintering 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 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
"country" = Country
"Group area" = Name of the group area
"level_2" = Name of scale 2 HELCOM assessment unit (subbasin)
"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
"Threshold" = Threshold value
"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”)

The current evaluation is based on national monitoring data from coastal mid-winter counts (International Waterbird Census organized by Wetlands International) from all HELCOM Contracting Parties. Data for the years 1991-2015 were supplied by national dataholders following a data call in March 2016. Data sets consisted of site code, year, species and abundance (bird numbers). Data were supplied for a total of 1778 sites, but each species had different numbers of sites used in the analysis.
We acknowledge the E-OBS dataset from the EU-FP6 project ENSEMBLES ( http://ensembles-eu.metoffice.com) and the data providers in the ECA&D project ( http://www.ecad.eu).
The confidence of the evaluations is estimated to be intermediate.
