HOLAS II (5-1)

HOLAS II 3-2015, Lena Bergström & Soile Oinonen

Lena Bergström & Soile Oinonen 16.6.2105

Planning meeting

• Aim: to further specify activities within the social and economic component

• Place and time: HELCOM Secretariat, May 13

• In total 9 participants:

– Core team and national experts (EST, FIN, SWE)

– Invited experts (DEN, FIN, LAT)


Points on the agenda

• Previous experiences of the participants from economic analyses in relation to the MSFD

• Evaluate existing and emerging assessment needs.

• Proposed an outline for how to run activities within HOLAS II in order to support the emerging needs.


Suggested aims for the economic analyses

• Develop a common conceptual framework for social and economic analyses in the HELCOM region. – Provide a platform for exchange of experiences on economic and

social analyses

– Support a harmonized reporting in relation to the MSFD, focusing on the initial assessments under MSFD Article 8, but also setting the stage for the next Programmes of measures (POMs) under MSFD Article 13.

• Potentially apply the framework with respect to selected themes, as linked with the assessment of state and pressures


Workshop proposal

• Aims: Develop a common conceptual framework for economic analyses that will facilitate the use of harmonized approaches and methods in the MSFD reporting within the region and show the connection between the economic analyses and the assessment of status and pressures

• Proposed date: 30 September- 1 Oct, 2015

• Invited: experts and on economic analyses, experts on the assessment of status and pressures

•


Preliminary draft outline of the proposed framework

• How human welfare is dependent on the status of the Baltic Sea?

• Apply DPSIR framework

– Drivers/ economic activities

– Pressure assessment (HOLAS II)

– Status assessment (HOLAS II)

– Impact: how the status changes when the activity/pressurechanges? (Possible?)

– Response: support for the PoMs analyses


Hybrid conceptual model

• Marine Water Accounting + Ecosystem services + DPSIR = HOLAS II ESA

• The proposed workshop will develop a hydbridmodel so that MS can apply the same concept butadapt the MSFD Initial assessment economicanalyses according to their data and other resources

• HOLAS II ESA reports (at minimum) this common conceptual model?

Hybrid conceptual model


Existing knowledge base

• The planning meeting show that there is an extensive list of past and ongoing projectswhere MS have gained a lot of experience and data

– MarEcos, BONUS programme, Baltic Stern…

• Regional analysis applying common conceptseems possible!


Marine Ecosystem services: MarEcos

• A proposed concept for marine ecosystem services assessments

• How can MSFD descriptors and indicators for environmental status assessment be linked with selected ecosystem services

• Which valuation study results can be used for practical ecosystem services assessments,

• Knowledge gaps related to the valuation of ecosystem services

• Case study filling some of these gaps by demonstrating how recreation (a cultural ecosystem service) can be valued.


Next steps?

• Planning and preparation of the workshop to develop a common concept

• Workshop 1

• Workshop outcome: contribution to a section in the HOLAS II report?

• Test assessment for selected themes and regions

• Workshop 2?
