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 in the upcoming months.
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.

Target assessment description
Litter on the Lithuanian Baltic Sea coast (BAL-LT-AA-04) (excluding micro-litters) was monitored on ten beaches. The observations identified all the beach litter contained in the 100 m study broadcast and assessed the different objects of the shore-side litter. Observations show that artificial polymer materials: Plastic fragments (41.8), cigarette extinction (13.9), plastic ropes/valves (5.7) are the most commonly accepted objects on the Lithuanian Baltic Sea coast. Looking at the annual amount of shore-side litter in the period 2012-2017, there is a downward trend in the overall amount of litter. The GES value was not achieved in any of the study sites (0 %) and in 2017, 120 pieces of litter were found in 100.
The data of the Baltic Sea bottom trawls (during the research period (2013-2017) 47 times in Lithuanian marine waters, BAL-LT-AA-03) showed that at least one litter polluting the marine environment was detected during 36 trawls (76.5% of all) , In 2017, 235 units / km2 of garbage were found on the seabed.
