GES description |
Properties and quantities of marine litter do not cause harm to the coastal and marine environment. Threshold values were only determined for litter on the coastline. |
The composition, amount and spatial distribution of litter on the coastline, in the surface layer of the water column, and on the seabed, are at levels that do not cause harm to the coastal and marine environment. The threshold values have been set at the national level for each category of litter collected on the coastline and for the sum of all litter as the number of items per 100m based on statistical calculations of monitoring data from 2015-2016. |
The composition, amount and spatial distribution of micro-litter on the coastline, in the surface layer of the water column, and in seabed sediment, are at levels that do not cause harm to the coastal and marine environment. |

Justification for non-use of criterion |
Threshold values have not been determined for litter floating in the surface layer of the water column and deposited on the seabed, threshold values were only determined for litter on the coastline. |
Threshold values for micro-litter on the coastline, in the surface layer of the water column, and in seabed sediment have not been set at either EU or regional or national level |
|||
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements |
Threshold values have not been determined for litter floating in the surface layer of the water column and deposited on the seabed, threshold values were only determined for litter on the coastline. |
