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.

Description parameter
At present, there is insufficient knowledge of the effect of impulse sound on marine animals. Therefore, no thresholds have yet been set for which levels are compatible with good environmental conditions, either nationally or internationally. EU work is currently underway to set thresholds for impulse sound. The current assessment is based on an analysis of the number of days where man-made impulse noise occurs, as well as an analysis of how high the levels of noise are on a five-step scale from very high to very low.

Description overall status
Analyzes show that noisy activities were recorded in the Danish marine areas in the North Sea and the Northern Kattegat in 2015. The sound level is characterized as being at a level that can have a detrimental effect. The majority of the Danish marine areas are affected by impulse noise for less than 10 days.
