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.

Justification for non-use of criterion
HELCOM (2018a) Five indicators were used in the assessment of the status of HOLAS II pelagic habitats: 1) “Average zooplankton size and total abundance”, 2) “Seasonal change of dominant phytoplankton groups”, 3) “Diatom / Dinoflagelate index”; 4) "Chlorophyll-a" and 5) "Cyanobacterial bloom index". The applicability of the indicators to the Lithuanian sea area is analyzed in the report. The indicators are applicable to habitat AD.N5 “Baltic Sea Photographic Oxygen Pelagic Zone above the Halocline” as the assessment indicators for other habitats HELCOM (2018a) have not been developed.

The characteristics of pelagic habitats and the assessment of the prevailing trends were analyzed in 2010-2017. Hydrological data of the Baltic Sea. In general, a comparative analysis of hydrographic characteristics (temperature, salinity, oxygen, pH, water transparency) in 2006–2011 and 2012–2017 did not show significant changes in physico-chemical conditions in pelagic and benthic habitats.
