| Abstract | Data snapshot supporting IA2017 Indicator Assessment Concentrations of Chlorophyll-a in the Greater North Sea and Celtic Seas. Chlorophyll-a is one of a suite of five eutrophication indicators. When assessed and considered together in the OSPAR Common Procedure in a multi-step method, the suite can be used to diagnose eutrophication. Decreasing (improving) trends in chlorophyll-a concentration are found in the Sound and Skagerrak (1990–2014), and in the offshore parts of the Greater North Sea (2006-2014). There is a small upward trend (low confidence) in the offshore Celtic Seas. Elevated concentrations are found in some coastal areas. [Version 001] |
