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.

GES description
n/a (this criterion serves as input for D6C4 and D7C1)
n/a (this criterion serves as input to D6C3)
n/a (This criterion for assessing the spatial extent of degraded benthic habitat types due to physical disturbance serves as input to D6C5)
The loss of broad habitat types in the Dutch part of the North Sea due to human activities is limited and meets the European threshold value. Indicator(s) and (reference): BH4 Area of habitat loss (OSPAR): Threshold 2% (EU) BH4 Area of habitat loss (detailed analysis, national): Threshold 2% (EU)
The impact of anthropogenic activities on the condition of benthic habitat types in the Dutch part of the North Sea is limited. Indicator(s) and (reference): BH2b relative Margalef diversity (OSPAR): Threshold in development (EU threshold not yet deployable) BISI index (national):Threshold in development (EU threshold not yet deployable) BEQI-2 (WFD; national): ≥0.6
