Justification for non-use of criterion |
There is no regular presence of inks in the Baltic Sea due to its low salt content (cephalopods). They tend to enter the German waters of the Baltic Sea as a rare visitor, together with major salt-water incidents in the Baltic Sea, but cannot establish themselves due to the low salt content. Cephalopods are therefore not relevant for assessing the environmental status of the German Baltic waters.
