GES description
Biological diversity is maintained. The quality and occurrence of habitats and the distribution and abundance of species are in line with prevailing physiographic, geographic and climatic conditions
The distribution of species is consistent with their area of natural occurrence and the state of their sea space and their use do not endanger the long-term conservation of the species in the long term.
Range of seal distribution
Hibernation and waterbird distribution
Distribution of breeding populations of aquatic birds (fish and shellfish)
The range of species that make up habitats (biotopes) corresponds to their historical range of distribution and populations are vibrant
Hibernation and waterbird abundance
Species populations are vibrant and marine areas and their use will not endanger the long-term conservation of populations and communities in the long term.
Number of species at favourable conservation status under the Habitats Directive and the Birds Directive
Threshold values
  • Baltic Sea = HELCOM CORESET luokkarajat, Riista- ja kalatalouden tutkimuskeskus, WWF
  • Baltic Sea = IUCN-luokittelu; uhanalaisten lajien määrä vähenee ja lajin uhanalaisuusluokka paranee nykytasosta
