As part of EEA's ongoing security and identity management improvements, we are currently migrating the system to Entra ID authentication.
We kindly ask all users to start using Entra ID credentials when logging in to the system. 
Please note that LDAP authentication will be phased out and disabled in the upcoming months.
We encourage you to verify that you can successfully access the system and that your account and permissions function as expected after Entra ID login.
Should you encounter any issues or require assistance during this transition, please contact Laszlo Cseh at laszlo.cseh@eaudeweb.ro 
Thank you for your cooperation and support.

GES description
De introductie van energie, inclusief onderwatergeluid, vindt plaats op niveaus die geen nadelige invloed hebben op het mariene milieu.
- De ruimtelijke spreiding, de temporele omvang en het niveau van bronnen van antropogeen impulsief geluid zijn niet hoger dan de niveaus waarop populaties zeedieren schade wordt berokkend. - Het niveau van antropogene impulsgeluidbronnen, genormaliseerd op 750 m van de bron, is niet hoger dan 162 dB re 1µPa2s (uitgedrukt in SELss). When LOBE defined: For short-term exposure (1 day, i.e., daily exposure), the maximum proportion of an assessment/habitat area utilised by a species of interest that is accepted to be exposed to impulsive noise levels higher than the Level of Onset of Biologically adverse Effects (LOBE), over 1 day, is 20 % or lower (≤ 20 %). For long-term exposure (1 year), the average exposure is calculated. The maximum proportion of an assessment/habitat area utilised by a species of interest that is accepted to be exposed to impulsive noise levels higher than LOBE, over 1 year on average, is 10 % or lower (≤ 10 %).
- De ruimtelijke spreiding, de temporele omvang en het niveau van antropogeen continu laagfrequent geluid zijn niet hoger dan de niveaus waarop populaties zeedieren schade wordt berokkend. - Het jaargemiddelde van antropogeen continu laagfrequent geluid binnen de 1/3 octaafbanden 63 en 125 Hz, gemeten op één locatie, blijft gelijk of neemt af. When LOBE defined: 20 % of the target species habitat having noise levels above LOBE not to be exceeded in any month of the assessment year, in agreement with the conservation objective of the 80 % of the carrying capacity/habitat size.
