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 by the end of August 2026. 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
The spatial extent and spread of the permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions (for example, changes to the waveform, currents, salinity, temperature) on the sea ends and the water column do not have a pronounced negative impact on species, populations or an ecosystem level.
Spatial size of each benthic habitat type that undergoes negative effects (physical and hydrographic properties and associated communities) as a result of the permanent change in hydrological conditions.
