Implementation and progress of the JP and WBBKP – Summary
• Finnish bycatch released alive!
• HP “not assessed” in Finnish redlist
• CMS appendix I listing of the Baltic Sea HP
• HELCOM ACTION producing bycatch risk maps
• Reg 812/2004 repealed, data collection now entirely under DCF and EU-MAP → need for communication with RCGs
• Definition of driftnets, question to EC, reply that the definition is up to the regional process

• Abundance estimates • Monthly maps of density• GES thresholds and FRVs • Estimate fishing intensity→ seasonal bycatch risk maps • Prey quantity and quality and
effects on porpoises• Impact of vessel and seismic
survey noise• Acoustic identification of calves?→ Possibly identifying when calving takes place

Monitor and estimate abundance and distribution
➢ National monitoring should be established or further improved, coordinating between countries
➢ Support SAMBAH II to start in 2020, noting that management authorities are required to be partners
➢ Continue to cooperate on inter-SCANS surveys of the WBBK population

Monitor, estimate and reduce bycatch
➢ Establish system to monitor bycatch convering all sizes of fishing vessels.
➢ Spatio-temporal risk assessment of bycatch
➢ Continue to develop, conduct research on and implement use of alternative fishing gear and pingers not audible to seals
➢ Assess uncertainty in bycatch rates and estimate the effort needed for bycatch monitoring

Increase involvement, awareness and cooperation
➢ Coordinating reporting programmes and national databases and protocols for opportunistic sightings, bycatches, strandings and necropsies
➢ Promote research on consequences of impacts on prey communities (WBBK)
Investigate habitat use and protect important areas

Monitor and mitigate impact of underwater noise
➢ Baseline studies of underwater noise as a reference pointfor future impact assessments
➢ Investigate detrimental effects of various types of sounds
➢ Adopt regulations on reduction of sounds emissions from construction of offshore windfarms

Other - important
➢ Parties should ensure that the Belt Sea and Baltic Sea populations of harbour porpoises are assessed and managed as separate populations, e.g. in management plans and national redlists.
