GES description	Ihmisen aiheuttama rehevöityminen, erityisesti sen haitalliset vaikutukset, kuten biologisen monimuotoisuuden häviäminen, ekosysteemien tilan huononeminen, haitalliset leväkukinnat ja merenpohjan hapenpuute, on minimoitu	Ihmistoiminnan seurauksena mereen joutuvien ravinteiden ja orgaanisen aineen määrä sekä niiden pitoisuudet vedessä ovat tasolla, joka ei aiheuta meriympäristössä suoria tai epäsuoria haitallisia vaikutuksia.	Annual nutrient input into the sea (total phosphorus, total nitrogen)	Air deposition of nutrients	Vesi on kirkasta ja planktonlevät ja niiden kukinnat eivät haittaa veden laatua ja aiheuta muita epäsuoria haittavaikutuksia.	concentration of chlorophyll a in surface water	Transparency	Fyokocyanin concentration in surface water	The number, species and extent of algal blooms	Lajien ja luontotyyppien luonnolliset suhteet ja syvyysjakautuma ei vaarannu ja hapen määrä on riittävä.	Depth of the Block algal zone and of the red algal communities	The condition of the blind-algal zone (the proportion of the gap rest with the minimum rest)
