In relation to eutrophication in coastal waters (within 1 nautical mile from the baseline), good environmental status corresponding to good ecological status is determined based on a number of quality elements according to the Water Framework Directive.

Good environmental status for the individual criteria is set by threshold values set in the regional sea conventions OSPAR and HELCOM. Currently, regionally-coordinated thresholds are set for several criteria under the HELCOM indicators for the Baltic Sea basins including the Belt Sea and the Kattegat. In OSPAR, which includes the Danish sea areas in the North Sea including the Skagerrak, threshold values have not yet been set. In relation to eutrophication in coastal waters (within 1 nautical mile from the baseline), good ecological status is determined based on a number of quality elements according to the Water Framework Directive.
