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.
