Report: Implementation of WFD: Transitional waters: Environmental Assessment Concepts — Ems-Dollart Estuar (2005)»

Description

“For the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive, an ecological assessment of transitional and coastal waters shall be carried out, building on the previous projects “Study on the identification of background values and the natural variability of chemical and biological measures in marine monitoring, sub-area North Sea” (Heiber et al., 2004) and “Characterisation of German North Sea and Baltic Sea coastal waters against the background of international agreements — Part North Sea” (Aqua-Marin, 2003a) this project worked on assessment concepts for biological quality components focusing on transition waters of the Ems-Dollart-Estuar. The presentation and evaluation of the current ecological status proposes a viable system for classifying the quality components according to the EC WFD. The assessment of the water bodies by 2006 must be carried out in the specified time frame of the EC-EC Directive. In parallel or subsequently, monitoring plans for the continuation and validation of the evaluation concepts shall be developed, or existing monitoring plans shall be adapted to the tasks of the WFD.
