Implications for monitoring?� Consideration of Allowable Zone of Effect (AZE)� Outside AZE Good Status Achieved� Problem with cumulative pressures� Set a spatial impact threshold above which GES
is compromised� Ensures impacts from all industrial sectors
assessed at the same scale� For physical pressures may lead to Heavily
Modified Water Body designation

Spatial Considerations: Zone of Impact
High ecological status
Good ecological
status
Moderate ecological
status
Zone of impact 0.5 km2. Not separately identified as water
body.
Water body downgraded good to moderate, due to near-shore
impact zone.
Good ecological potential
Poor ecological Potential

Question?� Do we allow a common agreed area of impact
before GES is compromised?� 0.5 km2?� Could adopt a % area approach� Should the maximum allowed area of impact
be single area or cumulative area?� Is this being considered in Member States
classification rules?

Consequences
� The status maps are coloured differently by MSs on the same data
� One instigates a Programme of Measures where another doesn’t
� Which means SOMEBODY spends money when another doesn’t!

Summary
� Waterbodies are selected for either surveillance, operational monitoring or both
� Quality elements to be monitored (operational) are derived from the risk assessments
� Monitoring sites are established based on the numbers of pressures and size of the waterbody
� Question - How are quality elements classified? “One out all out” or an “average”?
� Final classification IS “one out all out”� What do we agree?
