Shallow Water Oxygen Indicator Development in Estonia Status of shallow water oxygen indicator development in Estonia Stella-Theresa Stoicescu, Urmas Lips Tallinn University of Technology Estonia Analyzed stations / data • Monitoring data from 2010-2018 from May to October were analyzed • Stations in the sea areas without the permanent halocline but seasonal thermocline were selected • Basins – Narva Bay, Tallinn Bay, west of Saaremaa island (Baltic Proper, formally EGB) and Gulf of Riga • Time-series of near-bottom oxygen concentrations • Sampling 6 times a year (here used data from 4 Cruises: late May-early June, July, August, and October) 2 Narva Bay and Baltic Proper • Hypoxic conditions in the Narva Bay catched only once • Measurements 4 times in May- October do not show shorter periods with hypoxia • None hypoxia events registered at station 34a • Only once the concentrations were below 4 mg/l 3 Gulf of Riga • Hypoxic conditions have been observed in the central Gulf of Riga quite often during the last decade • But not in the shallower areas (depth <40 m) • Further analysis conducted (presented later) 4 Indicator • Method for finding the indicator value is under development. For Assessment area Station minimum Result the status assessment, yearly of median values minimum values from a of yearly minima monitoring station (gathered from Gulf of Finland (areas 5.2 mg l-1 GES May/June to October/November) without the halocline, e.g. off-shore areas of within the assessment period, e.g. Narva Bay) 5-6 years, should be pooled and Northern Baltic Proper 5.2 mg l-1 GES the median value calculated. If (areas without the even one of the stations median halocline) value is below the GES threshold Gulf of Riga (off-shore 2.4 mg l-1 Non-GES then GES is not achieved. area) 5 Further development The GES value of 4 mg/l is proposed, considering the following: • Hypoxic conditions in the Baltic Sea can be developed naturally and the bottom fauna is adapted to low oxygen conditions; • The oxygen concentration in seasonally stratified sea areas should remain above 4 mg/l. However, • GES threshold could be different for different sea areas depending on the benthic species and the oxygen concentrations required for their healthy life cycle. • Oxygen concentrations in the near-bottom layer of sea areas with the seasonal thermocline decrease from spring to autumn. The decrease could depend on hydrography of basins (e.g. water exchange with the adjacent areas, separated with a sill or not, etc.) 6 Investigating hypoxia in the Gulf of Riga Extensive hypoxia in the Gulf of Riga in 2018 – an exceptional or regularly occurring phenomenon (Stella- Theresa Stoicescu1, Jaan Laanemets1, Taavi Liblik1, Maris Skudra2, Oliver Samlas1, Inga Lips1, Urmas Lips1) 1 – TalTech; 2 – Latvian Institute of Aquatic Ecology Gulf of Riga - background • Semi-enclosed shallow basin in the Baltic Sea (homogenous water column in the winter) • Area = 16 330 km2, volume = 424 km3, mean depth = 26 m; Ruhnu Deep 56 m • Water exchange with the Baltic Sea: • Irbe Strait (70-80%, sill depth of 25 m, cross section area 0.4 km2) • Suur Strait (sill depth of 5 m, cross section area 0.04 km2) • Mean runoff 36 km3 year-1: Daugava (70%), Lielupe, Gauja, Pärnu & Salaca • Water renewal period ~3 years • High inputs of N (90 544 t year-1) and P (2 427 t year-1) (2017) – higher than MAI (BSAP) (HELCOM, 2019) • Increasing P pool from 1974 till mid-1990s, afterward no clear trend (Yurkovskis, 2004, HELCOM, 2018) Ojaveer, 1995; HELCOM, 2002; Stiebrins and Väling, 1996; Petrov, 1979; Berzinsh, 1995; • P pool largely governed by internal processes, river input <15% of pool Yurkovskis et al., 1993; Johansson, 2016; (Yurkovskis, 2004) Omstedt et al., 1997; Lilover et al.

The estimated mixed near-bottom layer thickness was in 2018 about two times smaller than in 2017. The consumption rates per unit bottom area were in the same range in 2017 and 2018, varying between 1.1 and 1.8 mmol m-2 h-1. 12 GoR historical and 2018 data analysis results • Continuing decreasing trend in oxygen concentrations since 2005 in the Gulf of Riga near-bottom layer and occasional hypoxia events. • Hypoxic conditions develop in the near-bottom layer if stratification (thermal and haline) is strengthened, hindering vertical mixing. • Based on 2018, a sequence of certain processes contributed to the development of hypoxia • Large river runoff in the of 2017 and beginning of 2018 raised nutrient and organic matter concentrations • Early stratification development – in spring, the water column is usually homogenous, but in April 2018 there were salinity and DO gradients in the deep layer; in March inflow (from the Irbe Strait) favouring winds (E-ENE) • Strong stratification – inflow favouring winds in March(E), May (ENE), July (NNE); higher than average air temperature • Since mid-August almost no lateral transport into the deepest part of the gulf (no inflow favourable winds & deepening of the thermocline) -> developing hypoxia 13 High frequency data to study the confidence of estimates Time series of (A) wind speed, and vertical distribution of (B) temperature, (C) salinity and (D) oxygen measured at buoy station from 5 to 21 August 2018 (close to station G1). DO = 2.9 mg l-1 marks the hypoxia threshold. Estimates of the extent of hypoxic areas could vary considerably when using a single profile Also consumption estimates vary 14 Assessing the status and confidence • High frequency data – high oxygen variability • Regular monitoring data – capturing seasonal course of parameters • Regular monitoring data can be used for consumption estimates, when taking into account the variability of results. Confidence bounds can be determined, based on high frequency data, as the standard error of the -2 -1 results (0.26 mmol O2 m h in the presented example). 15 Conclusions • Oxygen levels below a set threshold (e.g. 4 mg/l) could be used or species-specific values could applied • The extent of hypoxic bottoms could be used • Such seasonal minima or maxima can be applied if data with good enough resolution are available • Consumption estimates for basins with sills can be applied • High-frequency measurements are essential (also, for estimating confidence of assessment results) • Numerical models could be used for extrapolation (not for stand- alone use yet) 16.

Coastline Reports 20 (2012), ISSN 0928-2734, ISBN 978-3-939206-05-7 S. 77 - 87 Involving Stakeholders along the Baltic Green Belt of Latvia Erik Sachtleber1 & Andra Ratkeviča2 1Institute of Geography, Kiel University 2Dabas aizsardzības pārvalde, Latvia Abstract An essential part of nature protection is involving stakeholders by communicating the need and the benefits from conserving nature. This is very often not easy to handle, the communication with important stakeholders can be disrupted and communication with these stakeholders might malfunction. In these cases a neutral mediator can influence the process and atmosphere of communication in a way that most disruptions and barriers can be overcome. The Slitere National Park is taken as an example for the processes of communication in nature protection and the impact of a neutral stakeholder in a complicated communication regime. This paper analyses the process of communication, which circumstances influenced this process, the history of the area and its stakeholders. As a result, general guidelines for strategic communication with stakeholders in nature protection are given. 1 Introduction An important part of nature conservation is to reduce the pressure of mankind on nature, for example by reducing the negative effects of stakeholders (organisations or key persons with an interest in the usage of land in a nature protection site), economic development and people’s lifestyle. This means, nature protection depends on involving stakeholders; forming alliances and agreements with those who might harm nature with their actions, although it is not their aim – for example in tourism.

Stratification of the water column was mainly Thermocline; controlled by the temperature while salinity had only a minor contribution. Buoyant salinity maxima with variable strength were observed in the intermediate layer of the Gulf of Riga. The Gulf of Riga; salinity maxima were likely formed by a simultaneous upwelling—downwelling event at the two Water exchange; Intrusion opposite sides of the Irbe strait. The inflowing salty water did not reach the deeper (> 35 m) parts of the gulf and, therefore, the near-bottom layer of the gulf remained isolated throughout the summer. Thus, the lateral water exchange regime in the near bottom layer of the Gulf of Riga is more complicated than it was thought previously. We suggest that the occurrence of this type of water exchange resulting in a buoyant inflow and lack of lateral transport into the near-bottom layers might contribute to the rapid seasonal oxygen decline in the Gulf of Riga. # 2016 Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

  • Seasonal Variability of Radiation Tide in Gulf of Riga

Seasonal variability of radiation tide in Gulf of Riga Vilnis Frishfelds1, Juris Sennikovs1, Uldis Bethers1, and Andrejs Timuhins1 1Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Optometry, University of Latvia, Riga, Latvia Correspondence: Vilnis Frishfelds ([email protected]) Abstract. Diurnal oscillations of water level in Gulf of Riga are considered. It was found that there is distinct daily pattern of diurnal oscillations in certain seasons. The role of sea breeze, gravitational tides and atmospheric pressure gradient are analysed. The interference of the first two effects provide the dominant role in diurnal oscillations. The effect of gravitational tides is described both with sole tidal forcing and also in real case with atmospheric forcing and stratification. The yearly 5 variation of the declination of the Sun and stratification leads to seasonal intensification of gravitational tides in Gulf of Riga. Correlation between gravitational tide of the Sun with its radiation caused wind effects appears to be main driver of oscillations in Gulf of Riga. Daily variation of wind is primary source of S1 tidal component with a water level maximum at 18:00 UTC in Gulf of Riga. Effect of solar radiation influences also K1 and P1 tidal components which are examined, too. 1 Introduction 10 A distinct feature in Gulf of Riga is diurnal oscillations of water level despite tidal influence is negligible in Baltic sea. These oscillations are especially expressed in a relatively calm and sunny spring days. The amplitude of oscillations can reach 10 cm of water level in May, see Fig.
