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 1991-2016 were supplied by national dataholders following a data call in May 2017. Data sets consisted of site code, year, species and abundance (bird numbers). 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 dataset was modified by removing zero counts and by including missing observations in 10 April 2019.
