WISE-SoE Reporting: Biology in Transitional and Coastal Waters

ds_Definition:
Data on biology in Data on biology in transitional and coastal waters are collected annually through the WISE-SoE data collection process. Data and information obtained through the process are primarily used to compile indicator factsheets, associated with the EEA's Core Set Indicators, upon which EEA assessment reports are based. Collected data are also published in Waterbase, a series of water topic-specific databases and web pages, publicly accessible via the EEA Data Service's web site. Data on the status and quantity of Europe's water resources can be viewed, analyzed and downloaded from Waterbase at:
http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/dataservice/available2.asp?type=findkeyword&theme=waterbase

Full details of the data requested on biology in transitional and coastal waters are presented in this specification by tables, and include the physical characteristics of the transitional and coastal monitoring stations, biology in transitional and coastal waters – aggregated data, boundaries of ecological status classses in transitional and coastal waters, and waterbody biology in transitional and coastal waters.

The data requested through the WISE-SoE data collection process should be derived from existing national and/or regional monitoring programs within each EEA Member Country.

Please consider the following when compiling your data delivery:

1. Submit biological data in transitional and coastal waters up to and including 2013. Do not supply any data for 2014.

2. Please do not use formulas in Excel template fields, fill values only.

3. Use the templates (XML schemas, MS Excel or MS Access) and these specifications to guide you in formatting and collating your data delivery. All are available for download from the data dictionary.

4. Supply data in XML, MS Excel (preferred) or MS Access format. In the case of Excel format, xls files (= Excel 1997 – 2003) can be used only. Do not use xlsx files. Ensure commas are not used as decimal separators. For units containing the symbol "µ", make ensure that the proper "µ" character is used, and not symbol-font "m" (the formatting may be lost).

5. Any additional information can be entered in accompanying text file.

6. Upload your data files to your nominated repository: the Central Data Repository at http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/ or your national Eionet server.

Physical Characteristics of Transitional and Coastal Monitoring Stations (Biology)

tbl_Definition:
Detailed information on the physical characteristics of the transitional and coastal stations are requested from EEA Member Countries on an annual basis.

tbl_Methodology:
The following fields combine to create a unique record in this table: CountryCode and NationalStationID. No duplicate records should exist within this combination.

We would like to encourage all countries to provide data on the physical characteristics of the transitional and coastal monitoring stations, ensuring that Longitude and Latitude values are provided for every station and are in decimal degrees format.

FOR STATIONS WHERE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED TO EEA (FOR REPORTING OF BIOLOGY DATA OR FOR REPORTING OF WATER QUALITY DATA LAST YEAR(S)), IT IS SUFFICIENT TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING ATTRIBUTES ONLY: CountryCode, NationalStationID, StationStatusClass.

tbl_Methodology:
Biological data should be reported as national EQRs (Ecological Quality Ratio) which are specific for a pressure type (eutrophication, acidification etc.). Please report only one type of national EQR for each BQE (Biological Quality Element) and pressure type. If there are cases where more than one type of national EQR must be reported per BQE and pressure type, please inform about this.

tbl_Name:
Boundaries of Ecological Status Classes in Transitional  and Coastal Waters

tbl_Definition:
Information on national classification system for each biological determinand and waterbody type, including reference conditions and boundaries of ecological status classes.

tbl_Methodology:
Classification system (class boundaries and reference conditions) should be reported only for biological determinands reported as national EQRs (Ecological Quality Ratio).

All class boundary values should be reported at the EQR scale (between 0 and 1).
Reference conditions, however, should be reported at the scale of the original metric (any value).
Please see illustration "Reporting of biological metric values and class boundaries in EQR scale" for more explanation:
http://forum.eionet.europa.eu/nrc-eionet-freshwater/library/wise_reporting_2011/biological_reporting/biologydd_20110617jpg

For artificial waterbodies and highly modified waterbodies, the information given on reference conditions and class boundaries will represent ecological potential instead of ecological status. Classification systems for the different national EQRs can depend on waterbody type, therefore the field WaterbodyTypeNCS_TCwaters (NCS = National Classification System) should always be filled in. Intercalibration waterbody types are preferred, but in cases where this is not possible, other national waterbody types can be reported instead. Only one waterbody type can be reported in one row. For each waterbody type, please use a new row and repeat the full information on classification systems for each BQE and pressure type.
If the classification system is identical for all waterbody types, please fill in "general" as WaterbodyTypeNCS_TCwaters.

The information on waterbody types must be consistent with what is reported in the table BiologyTC_Agg.

This table is similar to the to the table Biology in Transitional and Coastal and Waters – Aggregated data, except that the present table is to be used for data aggregated to the Waterbody level. Please report only one type of national EQR for each BQE (Biological Quality Element) and pressure type. If there are cases where more than one type of national EQR must be reported per BQE and pressure type, please inform about this.
