| Abstract: | An approach is described for systematically reconstructing spatial and temporal marine
disturbance regimes related to Baltic marine morbidity, mortality and disease events. The approach
is compatible with the health module of the Baltic Sea s Large Marine Ecosystem initiative and
consistent with implementation of the Baltic Sea Agenda 21 program. The approach is based upon
a survey of disturbance events conducted in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean, known as the HEED
project. Eight general disturbance indicator categories are suggested for assessment of the health
of the Baltic Sea ecosystem. These general disturbance types represent over 140 distinct impact
categories and may be used to examine the relationship among impact causes, effects and costs
from disturbances observed for the near coastal and open waters of the Baltic Sea ecosystem. |
