The worst areas are in the Norwegian Sea. The Baltic area shows an overall good status overall for waterbirds, which is the same as in the North Sea, though there are spatial differences in indicator outcomes when different trophic groups are considered.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>The BEAT+ tool integrates data from normalised indicators to identify worst case status measures for different biodiversity components. The results are then linked to a standard gridE based Spatial Assessment Unit (SAU) which is used both for biodiversity and for pressures assessments (Andersen et al., 2014). </SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>These grid-­based SAUs not only allow alignment of indicators for biodiversity and for pressures but provide a means for combining large assessment areas (e.g. for wide‐ranging species) with point data collected from biological surveys e.g. WFD monitoring. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>BEAT+ tool works by calculating a Biological Quality Ratio (BQR) which is an aggregated score of indicator outcomes within a grid square. To allow objective comparison, the indicator outcomes are normalised to a scale of 0 to 1, with five status classes at equal intervals on that scale (from Bad starting at 0, Poor at 0.2, Medium at 0.4, Good at 0.6 and High at 0.8). By this means, indicators based on different biological criteria can be aggregated in a consistent way. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>Report reference: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-icm/products/biodiversity-in-europes-seas</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>EEA standard re-use policy: unless otherwise indicated, re-use of content on the EEA website for commercial or non-commercial purposes is permitted free of charge, provided that the source is acknowledged (http://www.eea.europa.eu/legal/copyright).

There were insufficient data or thresholds for seabird data in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. The BEAT analysis is primarily based on seabird abundance and breeding success estimates as reported to OSPAR and HELCOM. These data have thresholds assigned from the assessment values generated for the Intermediate Assessments. Additional data has been incorporated from the DEVOTES project for the Barents Sea (Uusitalo et al., 2016) which supports the OSPAR outcomes. 20210831 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
