Initial assessment(Art 8)
Socio-economic (SE) content
SE aspects of measures
• Sector by sector approach (Sectors addressed, stakeholders)
• ESA of the use of marine waters: Marine water accounts approach +Description of non-economic activities
• ESA of the cost of degradation: start with Ecosystem services approach (will not be complete, no monetary valuation of welfare foregone)
Where are we in 2011?Socio-economy in the national strategy
Fisheries and mariculture
Maritime transport
Tourism
Extraction of salt
Settlement (Urbanisation)
Agriculture
Industry, Warehousing and storage
Defence - military
Coastal defence (Flood and erosion protection)
Other non-economic activities
5. Costs of degradation of the marine environment (CDME)
Costs for reducing impacts to the ecosystem
•Costs of basic management measures (Example: Maritime transport-ballast waters,...)
Costs of lost/damaged ecosystem goods and services
• Adriatic sea part of Mediterranean sea: ecosystem services UNEP MAP, Plan Bleu•Evaluation by prevailing ecosystems related values(posidonia, coralogenic concretions)

GESWhat is
=56 criteria
2. GES and targets
How does it work in praticein relation to reporting requirements
1. What are the characteristics of the activity, including any seasonal variation?
2. What is the current distribution and intensity of the activity, and how is this changing over time?
3. What are the economic and social benefits of the activity (e.g. employment, annual productivity)?
4. What are the key pressures arising from the activity?5. What are the costs of degradation of the marine environment
(addressing both costs for reducing impacts to the ecosystem and costs of lost/damaged ecosystem goods and services)?
Approach to reporting for the MSFD (Draft), WG DIKE, Sept. 2011
Case study: maritime transport
Case study: Maritime transport1. Characteristics of the activity
Source of data: Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia
• 1 Cargo port: 2.000 ships per year, 15.000.000 tons of cargo• Maritime transport to Italian ports• 1 Shipping company: 20 vessels • 3 Public ports for passenger water transport (year 2001: 34.000
passengers, 2010: 71.000 passengers (cruise ships)• Seasonal variation of passenger water transport

PROBLEMS- Mostly short time series- Several elementsmissing- No cooperation amongneighbouring countries
Way forward
• Long term - improve scientiffic knowledege on descriptors and links to pressures
• Short term - setting up of working groups for descriptors on the regional level– Exchange of knowledge– Common work on indicators selection– Common target setting– Comparision of socio-economic analysis results
