Seal distribution HOLAS 3 (Baltic sea) [Draft]

This dataset contains the integrated status assessment for seals (grey seals, harbour seals and ringed seals), harbour porpoise and waterbirds (surface-feeding birds, pelagic-feeding birds, benthic-feeding birds, wading birds, and grazing birds) with bycatch for the HELCOM Third Holistic Assessment of the Ecosystem Health of the Baltic Sea (HOLAS 3). Status is shown in five categories based on the integrated assessment scores obtained in the tool. Biological Quality Ratios (BQR) above 0.6 correspond to good status. The datasets were created using the BEAT tool. https://github.com/helcomsecretariat/BEAT Attribute information for mammals: "level_2" = HELCOM sub-basins (name of the scale 2 assessment unit) "HELCOM_ID" = id of the HELCOM assessment unit "SAUID" = ID number for the spatial assessment unit "SAULEVEL" = spatial assessment unit ID in which the assessment status took place "SAU" = Name the spatial assessment unit "ECID" = Ecosystem component id "EClevel" = Ecosystem component assessed level "EcosystemC" = Ecosystem component assessed "Status" = Integrated status category (0-0.2 = not good (lowest score), 0.2-0.4 = not good (lower score), 0.4-0.6 = not good (low score), 0.6-0.8 = good (high score), 0.8-1.0 = good (highest score)) "Conf" = Confidence of the assessment (0-1, higher values mean higher confidence) "ConfClass" = Confidence class "BQR" = Biological Quality Ratio "Status_EQR" = Status of the Biological Quality Ratio Attribute information for waterbirds: "Birds_ag" = Birds group area "GroupName" = Birds group area name "level_2" = Name of the HELCOM assessment unit in scale 2 "HELCOM_ID" = Code of the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit "BQR" = Biological Quality Ratio "Conf" = Confidence of the assessment (0-1, higher values mean higher confidence) "ConfClass" = Confidence class
