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 in the upcoming months.
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.

9999-9999
Relevant pressures
Relevant targets
GES component
  • D1-M
Relevant features
  • Seals
Justification description
The reason for the exception is the reduction of the coastal sea ice covered area and the duration of ice coverage in winter time due to climate change. As the reproductive success of ringed seals depend on coastal ice coverage there is no indications that the abundance and distributional rage of ringed seals could increase. Therefore it is not possible to predict when GES is expected to be achieved for ringed seals. Ringed seal is a protected species in Estonia (under HD and national law) and relevant Protection Action Plan is implemented.
