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 by the end of August 2026. 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.

Target description
Including MSFD related ecological objectives in MSP
The arrival of new species spreading with water and sediment from ships' ballast water tanks and attached to the hulls of ships will decrease between 2024 and 2030 compared to the previous number of arrivals.
The number of alien species intentionally released into nature by humans (e.g. aquarium species) will decrease between 2024 and 2030 compared to the previous number.
Alien species that have spread as a result of national shipping; yachts and other human activities will not continue to spread further into new Finnish sea areas in the years 2024–2030; in relation to the species' previous distribution in Finnish territorial waters.
