Description overall status
In summary, it can be stated that in the German coastal waters of the Baltic Sea the pelagic habitats on an area of 3,637 km² (corresponding to 86.8% of the coastal waters) and in the open Baltic Sea (territorial waters> 1 nm and EEZ) 100% of the pelagic habitats are not in good environmental status.

The indicator cyanobacteria developed for the open Baltic Sea is based on a combination of remote sensing data and in situ data on the cyanobacteria biomass.
At present, the average size and abundance indicator of zooplankton is in the northern part of the Baltic (Bothnian Bay, Gulf of Finland and Northern Central Baltic). For the other areas, including the German waters of the Baltic Sea, there are still no targets agreed at regional or sub-regional level, and therefore no evaluation is available, but they are under development.
