GES description
Ireland has achieved Good Environmental Status when nutrient concentrations are not at levels that indicate adverse eutrophication effects. Good Environmental Status is achieved in coastal waters when nutrient levels do not exceed the environmental quality standards set nationally in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC (S.I. 272 of 2009 as amended).
Ireland has achieved Good Environmental Status when chlorophyll-a concentrations are not at levels that indicate adverse effects of nutrient enrichment. Good Environmental Status is achieved in coastal waters when chlorophyll -a concentrations do not exceed the environmental quality standards set nationally in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC (S.I. 272 of 2009 as amended).
Ireland has achieved Good Environmental Status when the concentration of dissolved oxygen is not reduced, due to nutrient enrichment, to levels that indicate adverse effects on benthic habitats (including on associated biota and mobile species) or other eutrophication effects. Good Environmental Status is achieved when dissolved oxygen concentrations in coastal waters are between the environmental quality standards set nationally in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC (S.I. 272 of 2009 as amended).
Ireland has achieved Good Environmental Status when nutrient concentrations are not at levels that indicate adverse eutrophication effects. Good Environmental Status is achieved in coastal waters when nutrient levels do not exceed the environmental quality standards set nationally in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC (S.I. 272 of 2009 as amended).
Ireland has achieved Good Environmental Status when nutrient concentrations are not at levels that indicate adverse eutrophication effects. Good Environmental Status is achieved beyond coastal waters when nutrient levels are less than the threshold values set through the Common Procedure for the Identification of the Eutrophication Status of the OSPAR Maritime Area (OSPAR Agreement 2022-07).
Ireland has achieved Good Environmental Status when chlorophyll-a concentrations are not at levels that indicate adverse effects of nutrient enrichment. Good Environmental Status is achieved beyond coastal waterswhen chlorophyll-a concentrations are less than the threshold values set through the Common Procedure for the Identification of the Eutrophication Status of the OSPAR Maritime Area (OSPAR Agreement 2022-07).
Ireland has achieved Good Environmental Status when the concentration of dissolved oxygen is not reduced, due to nutrient enrichment, to levels that indicate adverse effects on benthic habitats (including on associated biota and mobile species) or other eutrophication effects. Good Environmental Status is achieved beyond coastal waters, when dissolved oxygen concentrations are above the threshold values set through the Common Procedure for the Identification of the Eutrophication Status of the OSPAR Maritime Area (OSPAR Agreement 2022-07).
