Seriously
Declining Trends in Migratory Waterbirds
Causes - Concerns - Consequences
Proceedings of the International Workshop in Wilhelmshaven, 31
August 2006.
Since the beginning of the eighties, water birds have been monitored
in the entire Wadden Sea, in a close spatial and temporal pattern,
mostly by hundreds of voluntary counters. The evaluation of the data gathered in the
period from 1980 to 2000, in the framework of the TMAP had alerted the scientists and was the cause for
the workshop held in Wilhelmshaven. |

Breeding
Birds in the Wadden Sea in 2001
Results of the total survey in 2001 and
trends in numbers between 1991 - 2001
The report includes the results of the 2001 total survey and the comparisons to
the first and second surveys, ten respectively five years ago. This
report reflects the fact that the joint breeding birds monitoring
program has been operational for a long period of time, allowing for
the analysis of long-time series. |

Migratory
Waterbirds in the Wadden Sea 1980-2000
The present report entails four contributions. In the first and main
one, the JMMB gives an overview of numbers and trends 1980 - 2000
for all 34 species of the JMMB-program. Regarding selected species
respectively species groups - such as Barnacle Geese and
Dark-bellied Brent Geese, Curlews as well as shellfish-eating birds
- specific aspects related to habitat use, hunting and mussel and
cockle fishery are discussed in more detail by different authors in
the following three additional contributions of the issue. |

Contaminants in Birds
Eggs The reports consist of
two articles:
"Contaminants in Bird Eggs - Recent spatial and temporal trends"
which is an update of the 2001 report and
"Seabirds at Risk? Effects of Environmental Chemicals and
Reproductive Success and Mass Growth of Seabirds Breeding in the
Wadden Sea in the mid 1990s" |

Contaminants in Birds
Eggs 1991 - 2000
The report "Contaminants
in Bird Eggs in the Wadden Sea" analyzed the spatial and
temporal trends of mercury and selected organochlorines (PCBs, DDTs,
HCHs, HCB, chlordanes) in bird eggs at 13 sites in the Netherlands,
Germany and Denmark for the period 1991 - 2000. |

Wadden
Sea Specific Eutrophication Criteria
The report, published in 2001,
presented the results of a literature study and data analysis aiming at developing
Wadden Sea specific eutrophication criteria. The
study was necessary to specify the trilateral Ecological Target
"to achieve a Wadden Sea which can be regarded as a
eutrophication Non-Problem Area", (Ministerial Conference,
Leeuwarden NL, 1994). The work was done in close cooperation
with activities in the framework of the OSPAR Common Procedure.

Birds in the Wadden Sea in 1996" published in 2000, entails the result of a
total survey in 1996 and of numbers of colony breeding species between
1991 and 1996.

1999 Quality Status Report
The "Wadden
Sea Quality Status Report 1999" entails a comprehensive,
integrated assessment of the Wadden Sea ecosystem and the impact
of human activities (259 pages).It reflects the main important
political decisions within the trilateral cooperation, most notably
the adoption of a common delimitation of the Wadden Sea Area,
of common Targets for the different WaddenSea habitats and of
a common management plan, the Trilateral Wadden Sea.
A printed copy is available

1997 Assessment Report
The "Assessment of the Wadden Sea Ecosystem"
(40 pages) has been drafted on the occasion of the 8th Trilateral
Governmental Wadden Sea Conference in Stade, Germany, 22 October
1997. |

1993 Quality Status Report
The Quality Status Report
(QSR) of the Wadden Sea has been elaborated as one of the regional
reports for the QSR of the North Sea in 1993 (174 pages, not
available any more).
The main conclusions of the
QSR 1993 are given in the Assessment
Report to the 7th Trilateral Governmental Conference in Leeuwarden,
The Netherlands, in November 1994. |
