Regional Report on Pilot Assessments of Impacts of Major Threats on Marine Biodiversity in the NOWPAP Region

This report is a first step towards developing a new assessment methodology for understanding the impact of certain pressures/threats to marine biodiversity in the NOWPAP region. The report is based on available data taken from pilot assessments which were carried out to better understand the current status of significant pressures/threats in the region, namely: eutrophication, non-indigenous species and habitat alteration. Assessment indicators and methodology will constitute the next step.
