DATA IDENTIFICATION


Name
Index of coastal eutrophication and floating plastic debris density
Indicator purpose

 This indicator aims to reduce the impacts of pollution through the prevention and reduction of marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution. 

Abstract

The indicator includes 14.1.1a Index of coastal eutrophication (ICEP) and 14.1.1b Plastic debris density. SDG 14.1.1a and SDG 14.1.1b will be described as two indicators. Across the 14.1.1a and 14.1.1b, two levels are proposed:


Level 1: Globally available data from earth observations and modeling
Level 2: National data which will be collected from countries (through the relevant Regional Seas Programme, where applicable (i.e. for countries that are a member of a Regional Seas Program)
Level 3: Additional indicators which are suggested that countries might consider collecting

DATA CONCEPTS and CLASSIFICATIONS



Classification used

Eutrophication – excess nutrient loading into coastal environments from anthropogenic sources, resulting in excessive growth of plants, algae, and phytoplankton.

Coastal Zone – national Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) (200 nautical miles from the coast) as outlined by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Marine litter – any persistent, manufactured or processed solid material which is lost or discarded and ends up in the marine and coastal environment.

Disaggregation

This indicator uses geospatial disaggregation. 

Key statistical concepts

A full methodology for this indicator is available in the document entitled, “Global Manual on Ocean Statistics for Measuring SDG 14.1.1, 14.2.1 and 14.5.1”.

Other comments

The Indicator is designed in a way to generate data to allow informed decision making towards identifying the state of pollution and pollution flows in oceans. It is assumed that countries would use the data to actively make decisions, but as oceans are transboundary, it makes this decision-making complex. Additionally, there is a need to consider data on pollution generation and waste in conjunction with these indicators.
