Target description |
Within coastal and territorial waters, the concentrations of contaminants do not exceed the threshold values set in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC. |
Within coastal and territorial waters, the concentrations of contaminants do not exceed the threshold values set in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC. |
Concentration of contaminants in marine matrices assessed in accordance with OSPAR Coordinated Environmental Monitoring Programme (CEMP) do not exceed OSPAR Environmental Assessment Criteria (EAC) and concentrations are not increasing. |
Concentration of contaminants in marine matrices assessed in accordance with OSPAR Coordinated Environmental Monitoring Programme (CEMP) do not exceed OSPAR Environmental Assessment Criteria (EAC) and concentrations are not increasing. |
The degree of biological or ecological effects that can be specifically attributed to contaminants is below the agreed OSPAR criteria. At present, this is limited to evaluation of reproductive impairment in marine gastropods associated with tributyltin (TBT). |
Spatial extent and duration of significant acute pollution events are minimised |
