	Subgroup 2: Assessment of the ecological status: Classification and reference values Topics: Definition of individual parameters for quality elements (WFD) and Targets (Wadden Sea Coop.) (with emphasis on biological quality elements); development of reference values/ranges for quality elements in the Wadden Sea (WFD).
	Subgroup 3: Monitoring – changes to be made? Topics: Revision of national monitoring programs with regard to international requirements (TMAP, EU, OSPAR); cooperation in monitoring in the Wadden Sea with regard to the requirement of the Wadden Sea Plan (Target assessment)
	Common Tasks (discussed by all three sub-groups): (1)  How to tune the WFD implementation activities with other international agreements in relation to an integrated Wadden Sea management? (2) Can the Wadden Sea Cooperation / TMAP serve as a platform or support the information exchange in the Wadden Sea?
