All TMs are kindly asked to fill in the information asked for
in the template and to present the information at the
CORESET II 2/2014 workshop.
TMLs are to collect the information, provide it to the
Project Manager and present at the workshop or agree
with a TMa to present.
By 8th September,
please provide first drafts to the Project Manager.
TMLs are welcome to present other information of interest
as well at the workshop, noting that each indicator will be
given a maxiumum time of 15 minutes.
Please, amend/fill-in sections in orange
and delete examples.

[indicator title]
• Present work on GES so far, briefly describe
the concept and who has been involved
[indicator title]
Example
• HELCOM Assessment
Unit Level: 3
• The indicator is
applicable in: all coastal
areas around the Baltic
Sea
• Currently data is
available : however only
available for coastal
areas of the Gulf of Riga
[indicator title]
List of issues that still need
to be solved for the
indicator
Describe what is hindering solving the issue
e.g. Low confidence in the result
Funding for data collection and analysis is still unsecure and the amount of data needed
for the analysis has not yet been met.

like to present in the following slides
