# ART10_Targets_Target

Description:
The interim target for 2020 is to reverse the trend of degradation of the marine ecosystem due to damage to seabed habitat and to biodiversity towards a development of recovery.
        This constitutes a first step towards a situation in which the marine ecosystem in the Dutch part of the North Sea can (in part) recover in the long term. The future perspective is a structure in which the relative proportions of the ecosystem components (habitats and species) are in line with those of prevailing physiographic, geographic and climatic conditions.


Description:
The quantity of visible beach litter has decreased (basic reference 2002-2009)


Description:
There is a decreasing trend in the quantity of litter in marine organisms


Description:
Individual cases: preventing harmful effects on the ecosystem, particularly on marine fauna, resulting from specific activities such as pile-driving and seismic surveys


Description:
Background noise and accumulation of effects on populations or at the ecosystem level: targets in 2018, when more knowledge has been gathered


Description:
Improvement of the size, quality and distribution of populations of long-living and/or vulnerable (i.e. sensitive to physical disturbance) benthic species


Description:
Improvement of the size, quality and distribution of populations of vulnerable fish species, in so far as deterioration was caused by human activity.
        This includes fish species with a long-term negative trend in population size and fish species with a low reproductive capacity (i.e. skates, rays and sharks). As regards improving the status of the Habitats Directive species, the targets are in line with the national targets of the Habitats Directive. Subtargets c and d below apply to commercially exploited fish and shellfish covered by this description


Description:
The fishing mortality rate (F) for all commercially exploited fish and shellfish stocks remains at the same level as or below the value of a Maximum Sustainable Yield, (MSY): F≤Fmsy


Description:
The target for depleted stocks of sharks, skates and rays fished by the EU fleet is recovery (or rebuilding) in line with the European Community Action Plan for the Conservation and Management of Sharks, Commission Decision 2009/40. This is a process target. Moreover, the target range not only depends on the Netherlands, but on many other countries as well.


Description:
The Spawning Stock Biomass (SSB) of commercially exploited fish and shellfish is above the precautionary level Bpa


Description:
Minimisation and, eventually, elimination of discards from fishing


Description:
The targets for  Birds Directive species are in line with the national targets of the Birds Directive. For pelagic seabirds for which the Dutch part of the North Sea is important, but no BD areas are designated, the aim is to attain a favourable conservation status at the regional scale. For species for which this is relevant the decrease in food availability resulting from lessening fisheries discards and decreasing eutrofication are taken into account.


Description:
The targets for marine mammals covered by the Habitats Directive (harbour seal, grey seal and harbour porpoise) are the same as the national targets pursuant to the Habitats Directive


Description:
The demographic characteristics of fish, birds and marine mammals populations are indicative of resilient populations in terms of, for instance, natural size and age groups, male/female ratio, reproduction and mortality. Sub-targets c and d contribute to this subtarget for commercially exploited fish species.


Description:
The effect of human interventions on interactions between the different trophic levels in the food web is being reduced where problems are identified.


Description:
The distribution and population size of predominant habitat types remains more or less the same (i.e. within the limits of natural variation at EUNIS level 3)


Description:
For the special habitat types protected under the Habitats Directive the national targets of the Habitats Directive apply


Description:
Supplementary, improvement of the quality of the deeper, silty parts and deeper, non-dynamic sandy seabeds in the Dutch part of the North Sea.
        The quality of the habitats applies to the physical structure, ecological function and diversity and structure of the associated species communities.


Description:
10-15% of the seabed of the Dutch part of the North Sea is not appreciably disrupted by human activities


Description:
Minimise the risk of new introductions of non-indigenous species


Description:
Reduce the concentrations of nutrients where these do not meet the Water Framework Directive, pursuant to its timeline


Description:
Algae biomass and blooms approximate 50% above the background value.
        The concentration of chlorophyll a during the phytoplankton growth season (March - September) that is consistent with good environmental status does not exceed 50% above the background value, in accordance with the Water Framework Directive (up to 1 nautical mile from the baseline) and OSPAR (beyond).


Description:
No increased occurrence of harmful algae blooms


Description:
No oxygen deficiency due to eutrophication


Description:
Human activities do not result in permanent, large-scale negative effects on the ecosystem due to changes in the hydrographical conditions


Description:
All developments must comply with the existing regulatory regime (e.g. EIA, SEA, and Habitats Directives) and regulatory assessments must take into consideration any potential impacts arising from permanent changes in hydrographical conditions, including cumulative effects, at the most appropriate spatial scales following the guidance prepared to this end (EUNIS level 3, reference year 2008)


Description:
Counter the concentrations of contaminants where these do not meet the targets of the Water Framework Directive, pursuant to its timeline


Description:
Ensure that concentrations of other known substances, where these meet the Water Framework Directive standards, do not exceed current concentrations and, where possible, reduce them


Description:
A  prevention target for currently observed effects of pollution from TBT and oil


Description:
Occurence and extent of significant acute pollution events (e.g. slicks resulting from spills of oil and oil products or spills of chemicals) and their impact on biota affected by this pollution should be minimised through appropriate risk based approaches.


Description:
The levels of contaminants in fish and other sea food from the North Sea do not exceed the standards of national and international legislation.

# IntegrationRules

Description:
If two variables do not meet the required standard, good status is not achieved.


Description:
The use of hierarchical approaches to structure indicator inclusion and group is very common. The added structure provides the ability to output intermediate CIs that aid in the interpretation of the overall CI/AI. The nesting of associated indicators into clusters greatly improves the clarity of the aggregation process. Weightings are equal for each indicator and typical of when there is not enough information on the influence of individual indicators.


Description:
Hierarchical layers and clustering of input indicators is used to structure and order the aggregation. Weightings are variable between indicators and can be allocated according to multivariate analysis, expert judgement or based on theoretical assumptions regarding value. Weights can be applied to either individual indicators or to clustered indicators.


Description:
Often hierarchically-structured and have inputs clustered by metric. Weights can be variable or equal. Calculation is undertaken with complex approaches such as summation, multiplication or bespoke formulae operations.


Description:
Use predefined statistical procedures. Commonly applied methods include Factor Analysis, Discriminate analysis and Principal Components Analysis


Description:
Combination of variables/indicators into a flat structure with no intermediate aggregation. Weightings are equal for all indicators and is atypical approach used when there is not enough information on the influence of individual indicators. This method is the most basic of quantitative aggregations, and is more common for indicator production. Averaging can be arithmetic or geometric.


Description:
Combination of variables/indicators into a flat structure with no intermediate aggregation. Weightings are variable between indicators and can be allocated according to multivariate analysis, expert judgement or based on theoretical assumptions regarding value.


Description:
All variables have to achieve good status.
