Target description |
Maritime spatial planning is carried out in a way that it advances the achievement of good environmental status in marine environment. |
Marine protected areas cover at least 10% of each of the five marine areas and form an ecologically coherent network. |
Marine protected areas will effectively protect the features for which they have been established. Within-MPA pressures will be lower than outside in order to ensure habitats’ and species’ viability and favourable conservation status. Management plans will be made on the basis of the local underwater nature and the pressures threatening it. |
Disturbing or adversely affecting traffic and human presence and activities decrease in marine protected areas. |
Managing the coastal fisheries secures its sustainability for the most important target species, support biological diversity and not risk achievement of good state. |
Hunting game bag of common eider (Somateria mollissima) and long-tailed duck (Clangula hyemalis) will be on sustainable level and in balance with the state of the populations. |
Use of natural resources is ecologically sustainable and does not risk achieving or maintaining good state. |
Knowledge basis for ringed seal conservation measures is solid in the subpopulations of Archipelago Sea and Gulf of Finland. |

Disturbing or adversely affecting traffic and human presence and activities decrease in marine protected areas. |
The minimum exploitable size of pikeperch will be increased and gillnet mesh size will be increased to avoid smaller fish sizes. The target is to increase the size distribution of pikeperch by 2024. |

The minimum exploitable size of white fish will be increased and gillnet mesh size will be increased to avoid smaller fish sizes. The target is to increase the size distribution of white fish by 2024. |
Hunting game bag of long-tailed duck (Clangula hyemalis) will be on sustainable level and in balance with the state of the population. |
