This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Faroe Islands statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Faroese statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Faroese-specific metadata information.
Comments to indicator 14.1.1 (a)
Chlorophyll-a series:
From UN environment programme (UNEP) based on assessment of ocean colour in satellite pictures. The area is the Exclusive Economic Zone
The series Chlorophyll-a deviations has been backcasted to include territorial waters.
These measurements show variations in quantity of phytoplankton
Nutrients in Skopun (coastal waters):
The measurements representing coastal waters outside of the fjords are taken in February when not disturbed by primary production
According to Faroe Marine Research Institute there is no basis to link the measurements of marine chlorophyll or nutrients in Skopun to eutrophication
