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.

GES component
D11
D11C1
D11C2
Marine reporting units
  • ACS-IE-AA-001
Features
  • Input of anthropogenic sound (impulsive, continuous)
GES description
Ireland has achieved Good Environmental Status within its maritime area for Criteria D11C1 - the spatial distribution, temporal extent, and levels of anthropogenic impulsive sound sources.
Determination date
202006
Update type
New determination
Justification for non-use of criterion
There are no agreed methodologies for the assessment of continuous noise and its impact on marine mammals, thus there is no assessment under Criteria D11C2 (i.e. the spatial distribution, temporal extent and levels of anthropogenic continuous low-frequency sound do not exceed levels that adversely affect populations of marine animals). Work is ongoing at a European level to develop methodologies for the assessment of continuous noise and its impact on marine animals.
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements
There are currently no threshold values associated with Anthropogenic impulsive sound. The development of regional and sub-regional threshold values is under way through the MSFD Common Implementation Strategy Technical Group on Underwater Noise (TG-Noise).
