Additional threats. Large scale accidental oil spills (Importance: Low) A number of shipping accidents (c.130) occur every year in the Baltic, mostly involving groundings and collisions, and occurring very close to shore or in harbours (Brusendorff et al. 2012). Only a few of these incidents have, however, so far resulted in serious pollution. The last major oil spill (more than 100 tonnes of oil) in the Baltic Sea happened in 2003 following the collision of the bulk carrier Fu Shan Hai with a container ship off Bornholm Island, Denmark (Xxxxxxxxxxx et al. 2012). An overall decrease in the number of accidental oil spills in the Baltic Sea over recent years has been reported (HELCOM 2010), attributed to the launch of maritime safety schemes (e.g. HELCOM AIS) and improvements to ship reporting and systems (Xxxxxxxxxxx et al. 2012). However, there are still approximately 130 accidental spills annually in the Baltic Sea. Furthermore, the overlap of shipping lanes with important Long-tailed Duck feeding areas increases the vulnerability of the species,to future spills and large scale disasters. The dramatic rise in oil transportation from Russia and the Baltic States (Xxxxxxxxxxx et al. 2012) significantly raises the risk of large oil spills occurring in moulting, staging and wintering areas of Long-tailed Ducks, thus increasing the threat to the species. A region-wide risk assessment carried out within the EU-funded project BRISK (Subregional risk of spill of oil and hazardous substances in the Baltic Sea) estimated that large spills of 300-500 tonnes of oil are expected to occur once every four years, whereas exceptional accidents of over 5,000 tonnes of oil are expected once every 25 years. Intervals between spills are expected to be shortest in the Sound and the Kattegat, closely followed by the south western Baltic Sea (Brusendorff et al. 2012). The level of impact on Long-tailed Ducks is highly dependent on the location of such incidents. Competition with Round Goby Neogobius melanostomus in the Baltic Sea (Importance: Low, potentially medium) The Round Goby is an invasive fish species of Ponto-Caspian origin, first observed in the Baltic Sea in the Gulf of Gdansk in 1990. It is thought to have arrived via ship ballast water. Currently it has been found or established in the southern and eastern Baltic Sea, Bothnian Sea, Gulf of Finland, Archipelago Sea, Kattegat and Belt Sea and southern Sweden (Xxxxxxxx et al. 2012). Due to its adaptive habits, the species is expected to c...
