Potential cumulative impacts on benthic habitats

Potential cumulative impacts on benthic habitats is based on the same method than <a href=" http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/9477be37-94a9-4201-824a-f079bc27d097" target="_blank">Baltic Sea Impact Index</a>, but is focused on physical pressures and benthic habitats. The dataset was created based on separate analysis for potential cumulative impacts on only the benthic habitats, as these are particularly affected by physical pressures. In this case the evaluation was based on pressure layers representing <a href=" http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/ea0ef0fa-0517-40a9-866a-ce22b8948c88" target="_blank">physical loss</a> and <a href=" http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/05e325f3-bc30-44a0-8f0b-995464011c82" target="_blank">physical disturbance</a>, combined with information on the distribution of eight broad benthic habitat types and five habitat-forming species (<a href=" http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/363cb353-46da-43f4-9906-7324738fe2c3" target="_blank">Furcellaria lumbricalis</a>, <a href=" http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/f9cc7b2c-4080-4b19-8c38-cac87955cb91" target="_blank">Mytilus edulis</a>, <a href=" http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/264ed572-403c-43bd-9707-345de8b9503c" target="_blank"> Fucus sp.</a>, <a href=" http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/822ddece-d96a-4036-9ad8-c4b599776eca" target="_blank">Charophytes</a> and <a href=" http://metadata.helcom.fi/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/ca327bb1-d3cb-46c2-8316-f5f62f889090" target="_blank">Zostera marina</a>).


The potential cumulative impacts has been estimated based on currently best available data, but spatial and temporal gaps may occur in underlying datasets.

Statement

The Baltic Sea Impact index (BSII) was first applied in the Initial HELCOM Holistic Assessment of Ecosystem Health

(HELCOM 2010a), building on concepts described by Halpern et al. (2008). The concepts were subsequently developed

further for the eastern parts of the North Sea by the HARMONY project (Andersen et al. 2013), which has developed

a HARMONY Pressure & Impact Mapper software (Stock 2016). The "summing method" used in BSII gives an overview of the areas which can be expected to be under high impacts based on that there are several ecosystem components being impacted.


Layers used in this assessment:

Potential cumulative impacts on benthic habitats has been calculated with a ArcGIS toolbox, developed at the HELCOM Secretariat, following the concepts described by Helpern et al. (2008).
