Description parameter		Threshold value and achieved value is for Baltic Sea. There is no threshold value set for Estonian marine area.	Value achieved: The distributional pattern of grey seal is continuous in whole Estonian marine area.					Value Achieved: The distributional pattern of Ringed seal population is fragmented. Therefore GES not achieved.
