202 5.1. Summary of all supplementary indicators The supplementary indicators are listed in the summary table below with a short description or a web link to HELCOM Indicator Fact Sheets. Indicators without a web link are further described in this chapter below. Table 5.1. Supplementary indicators. Web links to HELCOM Indicator Facts Sheets have been provided, if available. Supplementary biodiversity indicators Objective of the indicator Population Development of Sandwich Tern http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ifs2010/ en_GB/SandwichTern/ Population Development of Great Cormorant http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ifs2010/ en_GB/Cormorant/ Population Development of White-tailed Sea Eagle Decline of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the southwestern Baltic Sea The abundance of comb jellies in the northern Baltic Sea Ecosystem regime state in the Baltic Proper, Gulf of Riga, Gulf of Finland, and the Bothnian Sea http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ifs2009/ en_GB/White-tailedSeaEagle/ http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ifs2009/ en_GB/HarbourPorpoise/ http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ifs2009/ en_GB/CombJellies/ http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/archive/ ifs2007/en_GB/ecoregime/ Ratio of diatoms and dinofl agellates Describes the change in taxonomic group composition, presumably caused by eutrophication. Not applicable for the entire sea area. See text below. Ratio of autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms Intensity and areal coverage of cyanobacterial blooms Abundance and distribution of non-indigenous invasive species Describes a change in functional group composition and energy fl ow in the food web. Not properly tested. See text below. Describes effects of phosphorus inputs and internal loading (http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ ifs2010/en_GB/Cyanobacterial_blooms/, http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/archive/ ifs2008/en_GB/CyanobacteriaBloomIndex/) Presents the distribution, abundance and temporal trends of selected invasive non-indigenous species in the assessment units. Biopollution index Minor impact from newly arrived species. See text below.
Table 5.1. (continues) Supplementary indicators for the status of hazardous substances Objective of the indicator Organochlorine pesticides Includes DDTs, HCB and HCHs (incl. lindane). Separate description below. Copper in biota, sediment and water Concentrations of Cu have increased in some areas of the Baltic Sea (see HELCOM 2010). Monitoring is done by several HELCOM Contracting States. Zinc in biota, sediment and water Concentrations of Zn have increased in some areas of the Baltic Sea (see HELCOM 2010). Monitoring is done by several HELCOM Contracting States. Table 5.1. (continues) Supplementary environment indicators Objective of the indicator Surface water salinity Describes environmental conditions caused by climatic variability. Near bottom oxygen conditions Describes condition of the near-bottom habitats caused by climatic variability and nutrient inputs. Sea water acidifi cation Describes a temporal change in sea water pH. To be published as Indicator Fact Sheet in 2011. The ice season 2009-2010 Describes the extent of sea ice and refl ects also a potential threat for ice-breeding seals: http://www. helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ifs2010/en_GB/iceseason/ Total and regional Runoff to the Baltic Sea http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ifs2010/ en_GB/Runoff/ Water Exchange between the Baltic Sea and http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ifs2010/ the North Sea, and conditions in the Deep en_GB/WaterExchange/ Basins Hydrography and Oxygen in the Deep Basins http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ifs2010/ en_GB/HydrographyOxygenDeepBasins/ Development of Sea Surface Temperature in the Baltic Sea in 2009 http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ifs2010/ en_GB/SeaSurfaceTemperature/ Wave climate in the Baltic Sea 2009 http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ifs2010/ en_GB/waveclimate2009/ Bacterioplankton growth http://www.helcom.fi /BSAP_assessment/ifs/ifs2011/ en_GB/bacterioplankton/ 203
