Abundance of waterbirds in the wintering season 2018 |
Short description |
This core indicator evaluates the status of abundance of wintering waterbirds in the Baltic Sea region. 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 1 (Whole Baltic Sea).

Lineage |
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.
