Number and cumulative number of non-indigenous species in Europe's marine subregions, 1970-2020

The combo charts show the number of new introductions of non-indigenous species (NIS) (dots with trendline, primary axis) and the cumulative number of NIS by main species group (stacked columns, secondary axis) reported in Europe’s marine subregions, per 6-year interval between 1970 and 2017.

Number and cumulative number of marine non-indigenous species in Europe's seas, 1970-2020

The figure shows the number of new non-indigenous species (NIS) reported by marine region. The line-bar chart shows the total number of new introductions of NIS (grey bars) and by main species group (lines) reported in Europe’s seas combined and by marine region, per 6-year interval between 1970 and 2017. The stacked column charts show the cumulative number of new NIS introductions by main species group, in Europe’s seas combined and by marine region, per 6-year interval between 1970 and 2020.

Pathways of introduction of non-indigenous species to Europe’s seas, 1970-2020

The pie chart shows the share of the different pathways of introduction of new non-indigenous species (NIS) to Europe's seas over the years 1970 to 2020. The category 'Other' includes several modes of introduction, namely 'Transport-stowaway: other', 'release in nature', 'escape from confinement', 'corridor' and 'unknown'. The stacked column chart shows the trend in the number of new NIS by pathway of introduction between 1970 and 2017, on a 6-year cycle. While introductions by Transport-Stowaway (ballast water, hull fouling and others) remain the prevalent mode, 'unaided' and 'escape from confinement' have grown in importance in the latest assessment cycles.

Persistent organic pollutant emissions in the EU-27 Member States, by country, 2005-2020

The figure shows changes in dioxins (PCDDs) and furans (PCDFs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emissions between 2005 and 2020, based on data reported by EU Member States under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Air Convention. Red dots indicate an increase in emissions and blue dots indicate a decrease.

Water abstraction by source, 2000-2019

Water abstraction is from groundwater and surface water. Surface water contains water abstraction from rivers, reservoirs and lakes. The figure illustrates total annual water abstraction from groundwater and surface water by economic sector, i.e. agriculture, electricity cooling, manufacturing cooling, manufacturing, mining and quarrying, construction and public water supply, as defined in NACE (Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Communities) sections. Hydropower is excluded.

Summary of preliminary classification and identification of ‘non-problem areas’ and ‘potential problem areas’ with respect to marine litter in Europe’s Seas for all areas and for four regions

The MALT tool assesses status with respect to maring litter, assigning a class of High, Good, Moderate, Poor or Bad. The larger figure shows the sum of assessed area having each of the status classes across Europe's Seas and the four smaller figures shows the summarizerd area for each status class within four regions: (1) Baltic Sea, (2) North-east Atlantic Ocean, (3) Mediterranean Sea and (4) Black Sea
