Observations of Charadrius hiaticula hiaticula were collected from the Baltic Sea area for HELCOM Red List species list. The HELCOM Red List of Baltic Sea species in danger of becoming extinct (2013) is the first threat assessment for Baltic Sea species that covers all marine mammals, fish, birds, macrophytes (aquatic plants), and benthic invertebrates, and follows the Red List criteria of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Almost 2800 species were considered in the Red List assessment and about 1750 were evaluated according to the IUCN Red List criteria. Charadrius hiaticula hiaticula has been placed to the Red List category of Near Threatened (NT) species. The map shows the species range only during breeding season.

This dataset displays coastal fish monitoring areas as defined by HELCOM FISH-PRO group and stored in HELCOM Coastal fish database (COOL). Monitoring of coastal fish contains two geometry types: Monitoring points for pointwise locations, where CPUE is reported per point and monitoring areas where CPUE is reported per monitoring area (ICES subdivision or square).

The assessment results for waterbirds for the HELCOM Third Holistic Assessment of the Ecosystem Health of the Baltic Sea (HOLAS 3) contains the following datasets: Overall seal integrated result map, Grey seal integrated result map, Ringed seal integrated result map, Harbour seal integrated result map, and Harbour porpoise integrated result map. Status is shown in five categories based on the integrated assessment scores obtained in the tool. Biological Quality Ratios (BQR) above 0.6 correspond to good status. The datasets were created using the BEAT tool. https://github.com/helcomsecretariat/BEAT Attribute information: "Mammals_ag" = Aggregated area "SAULEVEL" = spatial assessment unit ID in which the assessment status took place "ECID" = Ecosystem component ID "EClevel" = Ecosystem Component level "EcosystemComponent" = Ecosystem component assessed "BQR" = Biological Quality Ratio "Conf" = Confidence of the assessment (0-1, higher values mean higher confidence) "ConfClass" = Confidence class

This dataset describes fishing intensity for OT CRU mobile bottom contacting gear in 2013 based on VMS/Log book data processed by ICES Working Group on Spatial Fisheries Data (WGSFD). ICES secretariat collected during 2017 relevant VMS and logbook data for 2009-2016 to produce, as a technical service to HELCOM, updated spatial data layers on fishing intensity/pressure. Improved data quality control checks were implemented. Submitted data across the HELCOM area have improved in quality compared to previous data 2009-2013 published in 2015. Standardized methods were used to produce the requested data layers. The code used to create the data products is available here: https://github.com/ices-eg/wg_WGSFD For further technical information on the advice request, see http://www.ices.dk/sites/pub/Publication%20Reports/Advice/2017/Special_requests/helcom.2017.18.pdf HELCOM secretariat did the following processing to the shapefile provided by ICES: - Conversion to ETRS89LAEA coordinate system - Added feature and attribute "Reported" to display unreported areas. Dataset attribute information: c-square: Unique reference of the c-square polygon Year: Year of fishing activity mid_lat: latitude coordinate of the centroid of c-square inWGS84 decimal degrees mid_lon: longitude coordinate of the centroid of c-square inWGS84 decimal degrees SurfaceSAR: Surface area ratio (Swept area, < 2 cm penetration depth of the gear components) Subsurface: Subsurface area ratio (Swept area, subsurface =>2 cm penetration depth of the gear components) totweight: Total Weight (kg) totvalue: Total value (Euros) Kw Fishing Hours: (Kw*h) Fishing hours: (h) Reported: Yes=Reported data. No= No reported data (area that does not contain effort/intensity value due to lack of reported data). Please note that this dataset was updated (v2) in January 2019, see further details below in the lineage section.

This dataset contains the integrated status assessment for seals (grey seals, harbour seals and ringed seals), harbour porpoise and waterbirds (surface-feeding birds, pelagic-feeding birds, benthic-feeding birds, wading birds, and grazing birds) with bycatch for the HELCOM Third Holistic Assessment of the Ecosystem Health of the Baltic Sea (HOLAS 3). Status is shown in five categories based on the integrated assessment scores obtained in the tool. Biological Quality Ratios (BQR) above 0.6 correspond to good status. The datasets were created using the BEAT tool. https://github.com/helcomsecretariat/BEAT Attribute information for mammals: "level_2" = HELCOM sub-basins (name of the scale 2 assessment unit) "HELCOM_ID" = id of the HELCOM assessment unit "SAUID" = ID number for the spatial assessment unit "SAULEVEL" = spatial assessment unit ID in which the assessment status took place "SAU" = Name the spatial assessment unit "ECID" = Ecosystem component id "EClevel" = Ecosystem component assessed level "EcosystemC" = Ecosystem component assessed "Status" = Integrated status category (0-0.2 = not good (lowest score), 0.2-0.4 = not good (lower score), 0.4-0.6 = not good (low score), 0.6-0.8 = good (high score), 0.8-1.0 = good (highest score)) "Conf" = Confidence of the assessment (0-1, higher values mean higher confidence) "ConfClass" = Confidence class "BQR" = Biological Quality Ratio "Status_EQR" = Status of the Biological Quality Ratio Attribute information for waterbirds: "Birds_ag" = Birds group area "GroupName" = Birds group area name "level_2" = Name of the HELCOM assessment unit in scale 2 "HELCOM_ID" = Code of the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit "BQR" = Biological Quality Ratio "Conf" = Confidence of the assessment (0-1, higher values mean higher confidence) "ConfClass" = Confidence class

This dataset represents the underlying seawater data on core indicator Radioactive substances: Cesium-137 in-fish-and-surface-seawater. The core indicator evaluates the state of the environment using the concentration of the radioactive isotope cesium-137 (137Cs) in herring, in flatfish and in surface waters. Quantitative thresholds are used to evaluate if core indicators Achieve or Fail Good status or if the status is Not assessed. Good status is achieved when concentrations reach levels measured before the Chernobyl accident in 1986 when the biota of the Baltic Sea received the most significant contribution to their level of artificial radionuclides, predominantly in the form of 137Cs. This dataset displays the result of the indicator in HELCOM Assessment Scale 2 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins). Attribute information: "KEY" = MORS Database unique sample identifier "COUNTRY" = Code for country of observation "YEAR" = Year of observation "STATION" = Unique text that identifies the station "TDEPTH" = Bottom depth at sampling site (m) "SDEPTH" = Sampling depth (m) "ASSESSMENT" = Name of the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit (subbasin) "NUCLIDE" = Nuclide measured "VALUE_Bq_m" = Value of measurement in Bq/m3

This core indicator evaluates the status of abundance of wintering waterbirds in the Baltic Sea region, here visualized for grazing 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.
