Target assessment description |
Between 2012 and 2017, the average annual entry into the Baltic Sea with a river influx from the mainland of Lithuania amounted to 42140.3 tonnes of TN and 1286.0 tonnes of TP. Compared to the previous MSFD I cycle (2006-2011), the TN influx increased on average by 18 % (7749.2 tonnes), while the TP influx decreased by 10 % (140.2 tonnes).

The area of sediment dumping (dumping) and sand excavation in different habitats during the period 2012-2017 in intermediate and coastal waters (BAL-LT-AA-01 and BAL-LT-AA-02) did not exceed 1 % of the habitat, and the environmental status was good for all habitat types. Objective BAL-LT-AA-01 and BAL-LT-AA-02 for maritime units has been achieved.
|
In the open sea area (BAL-LT-AA-03), the state of the environment in the habitat of the circalittoral sands has been recorded. The dumping and sand excavations carried out here accounted for 1.09 % of the total area of the habitat and exceeded the GES threshold (<1 % of the area of the habitat). For the indicator "Size of a bottom trawling area in a habitat", the GES value (<10 % of the habitat area) is exceeded in the habitats of circalittoral sand (14,5 %) and circalittoral mud(21,8 %).
