Justification description
The measures will not be enough to achieve a good state for the long-tailed duck by 2027, as the pressures or environmental factors that led to the poor state will affect the wintering areas outside Finland. It is not possible to estimate when good status will be achieved.
The measures will not be enough to achieve good status for the turnstone by 2027, as the pressures or environmental factors that led to the poor state are likely to affect mainly the wintering area. However, the program of measures can improve the condition of the turnstone. It is not possible to estimate when good status will be achieved.
The measures are sufficient to achieve good status for the velvet scoter, but good status cannot be achieved by 2027 due to time delays between the impact of the measures and the recovery of stocks. Good status is expected to be achieved by 2033.
The measures are sufficient to achieve good status for the common eider, but good status cannot be achieved by 2027 due to time delays between the impact of the measures and the recovery of stocks. Good status is expected to be achieved by 2033.
