The state of the marine environment according to the D6 descriptor was assessed according to the D6C3 criterion and its two indicators: 1) Area of soil dumping (sanding) and sand excavation in the habitat (GES <1% of the habitat area), 2) Size of bottom trawling area in the habitat (GES <10% habitat area). According to the indicator “Area of soil dumping (sanding) and sand excavation area in the habitat”, the state of the environment in intermediate and coastal waters (BAL-LT-AA-01 and BAL-LT-AA-02) in 2012-2017. was good for all habitat types during the assessment period. In the high seas (BAL-LT-AA-03), a poor environmental condition was recorded in the sand habitat of the circalittoral. Dumping (District III) and sand excavations were carried out here, covering an area of 23.2 and 2.5 km2 respectively, representing 1.09% of the total habitat area and exceeding the GES threshold. The impact of trawling was assessed in different habitats of BAL-LT-AA-03 district. The GES value (<10% of the habitat area) of the indicator “Size of bottom trawling area in the habitat” was exceeded in the habitats of circalittoral sand (14.5%) and circalittoral mud (21.8%). The integrated assessment results show that in BAL-LT-AA-03 district habitats (circalittoral sand and circalittoral mud) the environmental condition is not good, BAL-LT-AA-01 and BAL-LT-AA-02 environmental condition is good. After applying the OOAO rule, the general state of the environment of the Lithuanian sea area in 2012-2017 according to the D6 descriptor is not good.

The state of the marine environment according to the D6 descriptor was assessed according to the D6C3 criterion and its two indicators: 1) Area of soil dumping (sanding) and sand excavation in the habitat (GES<1% of the habitat area), 2) Size of bottom trawling area in the habitat (target indicator, GES<10% of habitat area). According to the indicator “Area of soil dumping (sanding) and sand excavation area in the habitat”, the state of the environment in intermediate and coastal waters (BAL-LT-AA-01 and BAL-LT-AA-02) in 2012-2017. was good for all habitat types during the assessment period. In the high seas (BAL-LT-AA-03), a poor environmental condition was recorded in the sand habitat of the circalitoral. Dumping (District III) and sand excavations were carried out here, covering an area of 23.2 and 2.5 km2 respectively, representing 1.09% of the total habitat area and exceeding the GES threshold. The impact of trawling was assessed in different habitats of BAL-LT-AA-03 district. The GES value (<10% of the habitat area) of the indicator “Size of bottom trawling area in the habitat” was exceeded in the habitats of circalittoral sand (14.5%) and circalittoral mud(21.8%). The integrated assessment results show that in BAL-LT-AA-03 district habitats (circalittoral sand and circalittoral mud) the environmental condition is not good, BAL-LT-AA-01 and BAL-LT-AA-02 environmental condition is good. After applying the OOAO rule, the general state of the environment of the Lithuanian sea area in 2012-2017 according to the D6 descriptor is not good.

After applying the OOAO rule, the general state of the environment of the Lithuanian sea area in 2012-2017 according to the D6 descriptor is not good.

The state of the marine environment according to the D6 descriptor was assessed according to the D6C3 criterion and its two indicators: 1) Area of soil dumping (sanding) and sand excavation in the habitat (GES<1% of the habitat area), 2) Size of bottom trawling area in the habitat (target indicator, GES<10% of habitat area). According to the indicator “Area of soil dumping (sanding) and sand excavation area in the habitat”, the state of the environment in intermediate and coastal waters (BAL-LT-AA-01 and BAL-LT-AA-02) in 2012-2017. was good for all habitat types during the assessment period. In the high seas (BAL-LT-AA-03), a poor environmental condition was recorded in the sand habitat of the circalitoral. Dumping (District III) and sand excavations were carried out here, covering an area of 23.2 and 2.5 km2 respectively, representing 1.09% of the total habitat area and exceeding the GES threshold. The impact of trawling was assessed in different habitats of BAL-LT-AA-03 district. The GES value (<10% of the habitat area) of the indicator “Size of bottom trawling area in the habitat” was exceeded in the habitats of circalittoral sand (14.5%) and circalittoral mud(21.8%). The integrated assessment results show that in BAL-LT-AA-03 district habitats (circalittoral sand and circalittoral mud) the environmental condition is not good, BAL-LT-AA-01 and BAL-LT-AA-02 environmental condition is good. After applying the OOAO rule, the general state of the environment of the Lithuanian sea area in 2012-2017 according to the D6 descriptor is not good.

The state of the marine environment according to the D6 descriptor was assessed according to the D6C3 criterion and its two indicators: 1) Area of soil dumping (sanding) and sand excavation in the habitat (GES<1% of the habitat area), 2) Size of bottom trawling area in the habitat (target indicator, GES<10% of habitat area). According to the indicator “Area of soil dumping (sanding) and sand excavation area in the habitat”, the state of the environment in intermediate and coastal waters (BAL-LT-AA-01 and BAL-LT-AA-02) in 2012-2017. was good for all habitat types during the assessment period. In the high seas (BAL-LT-AA-03), a poor environmental condition was recorded in the sand habitat of the circalitoral. Dumping (District III) and sand excavations were carried out here, covering an area of 23.2 and 2.5 km2 respectively, representing 1.09% of the total habitat area and exceeding the GES threshold. The impact of trawling was assessed in different habitats of BAL-LT-AA-03 district. The GES value (<10% of the habitat area) of the indicator “Size of bottom trawling area in the habitat” was exceeded in the habitats of circalittoral sand (14.5%) and circalittoral mud(21.8%). The integrated assessment results show that in BAL-LT-AA-03 district habitats (circalittoral sand and circalittoral mud) the environmental condition is not good, BAL-LT-AA-01 and BAL-LT-AA-02 environmental condition is good. After applying the OOAO rule, the general state of the environment of the Lithuanian sea area in 2012-2017 according to the D6 descriptor is not good.

After applying the OOAO rule, the general state of the environment of the Lithuanian sea area in 2012-2017 according to the D6 descriptor is not good.
|
The state of the marine environment according to the D6 descriptor was assessed according to the D6C3 criterion and its two indicators: 1) Area of soil dumping (sanding) and sand excavation in the habitat (GES<1% of the habitat area), 2) Size of bottom trawling area in the habitat (target indicator, GES<10% of habitat area). According to the indicator “Area of soil dumping (sanding) and sand excavation area in the habitat”, the state of the environment in intermediate and coastal waters (BAL-LT-AA-01 and BAL-LT-AA-02) in 2012-2017. was good for all habitat types during the assessment period. In the high seas (BAL-LT-AA-03), a poor environmental condition was recorded in the sand habitat of the circalitoral. Dumping (District III) and sand excavations were carried out here, covering an area of 23.2 and 2.5 km2 respectively, representing 1.09% of the total habitat area and exceeding the GES threshold. The impact of trawling was assessed in different habitats of BAL-LT-AA-03 district. The GES value (<10% of the habitat area) of the indicator “Size of bottom trawling area in the habitat” was exceeded in the habitats of circalittoral sand (14.5%) and circalittoral mud(21.8%). The integrated assessment results show that in BAL-LT-AA-03 district habitats (circalittoral sand and circalittoral mud) the environmental condition is not good, BAL-LT-AA-01 and BAL-LT-AA-02 environmental condition is good. After applying the OOAO rule, the general state of the environment of the Lithuanian sea area in 2012-2017 according to the D6 descriptor is not good.
