Abstract	On the basis of long-term data from the monitoring program of theRijksinstituut voor Kust en Zee (RIKZ), The Netherlands, we discuss how various statistical procedures can be successfully applied to the monitoring of benthic communities, especially in the Wadden Sea area. In particular, the following topics will be treated: (i) Non-Metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) for visualization of trends and/or changes in species composition; (ii) Minimal Areas for checking the representativity of samples w.r.t. the number of species present; (iii) Diversity of species communities and its statistical estimation from samples including estimates for the estimation error in terms of their variance and standard deviation. Although most of the underlying statistical techniques are in principal well-established [see, e.g.Digby &Kempton (1987) orSpellerberg (1991)] and applications in marine ecology are numerous, some new statistical results are added from an application-oriented point of view.Anwendungen statistischer Techniken im Kontext eines Langzeit-Monitoringprogramms benthischer Artengemeinschaften insbesondere der Watten der siidlichen Nordsee werden diskutiert auf der Grundlage zeitabhangiger Daten aus dem Monitoringprogramm desRijksinstituut voor Kust en Zee (RIKZ), Niederlande. Dabei steht die anwendungsorientierte Behandlung der folgenden Themen im Vordergmnd: (i) Nicht-metrische multidimensionale Skalierung (NMDS) zur Visualisierung zeitabhangiger Entwicklungs-tendenzen und/oder Veranderungen in der Artenzusammensetzung; (ii) Minimale Probenflachen, um die Reprasentativitat einer Probennahme in Hinsicht auf die Anzahl beob-achteter Arten zu uberpriifen; (iii) Diversitdt von Artengemeinschaften sowie Schatzer fur Diversitat, deren Varianz und Standardab-weichung. Obwohl die zugrandeliegenden statistischen Techniken uberwiegend gut etabliert [siehe z.B. Digby & Kempton (1987) oder Spellerberg (1991)] und auf dem Gebiet der marinen Okologie bereits zahlreiche Anwendungen veroffentlicht worden sind, sollen einige neue statistische Ergebnisse anwendungsorientiert prasentiert und zur Diskussion gestellt werden.
