Method used |
The BAL-LV environmental objective to achieve or maintain GES is defined in accordance with the desired environmental status as defined by good environmental status descriptors. Consequently, the desired objectives for the marine environment were defined on the basis of qualitative characteristics in accordance with Commission Decision 2010/477 / EU and related indicators with quantitative values. The quantitative values of the indicators were determined using trend analysis and historical data. The Marine Environment Initial Assessment Report Technical Annex “Good Environmental Status Criteria, Indicators and Assessment for the Gulf of Riga and the Baltic Sea” provides an explanation of the methods for quantifying the quantified targets for the marine environment.

Description [Targets] |
Bioloģiskā daudzveidība ir saglabāta. Biotopu kvalitāte un sastopamība, sugu izplatība un daudzums atbilst konkrētajiem fizioģeogrāfiskajiem, ģeogrāfiskajiem un klimatiskajiem apstākļiem.
|
GES is achieved when the phytoplankton biomass is outside the levels associated with contaminated conditions.

Pašam mērķim metodika nav izstrādāta. Ir atsevišķi indiviudālie indikatori, kam šobrīd ir metodika, bet visam indikatoru kopumam nav viena metode, kas novērtētu, vai mērķa ir sasniegts. |
