ÅPH 11 - to investigate the possibility to financially support net uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus from the marine environment through cultivation and harvest of “blue catch crops” (e.g. farming of algae sea-weed or mussels) where possible in marine areas which do not reach good environmental status, and to stimulate technologies for cultivation and refining of such blue catch crops.

ÅPH 12 - to stimulate aquaculture technologies which provides no net load to the surrounding waters, in marine areas which do not reach good environmental status.

ÅPH 13 - provide guidance on how changes in hydrographic conditions affect biodiversity and ecosystems.

ÅPH 14 - in cooperation with SwAM, develop a guide for local marine and coastal planning under the Planning and Building Act (PBA).

ÅPH 20 - Targeted national information campaign about common debris in the marine environment, their negative impact on the environment and the link to consumer behaviour

ÅPH 21 - Supporting initiatives that promote, organise and carry out beach cleaning in badly affected areas

ÅPH 22 - Conducting strategic work through the inclusion of marine debris in relevant waste management plans and programmes

ÅPH 23 - The revision of the municipal waste management plans needs to identify and illustrate how waste management can help to reduce the occurrence of marine litter and set up goals for such work

ÅPH 24 - developing a comprehensive framework for national action programmes for threatened species and habitats in the marine environment, and coordinating such efforts nationally

ÅPH 25 - developing knowledge-building programmes for endangered species and habitats in the marine environment, as well as coordinating such efforts nationally

ÅPH 27 - guidelines and criteria developed in SwAM’s national action plan for marine protection establishes new MPAs of sufficient geographical coverage and with appropriate management measures to help to achieve GES under the Marine Environmental Regulation

ÅPH 28 - introduce management measures in MPAs (existing/new where these do not currently exist)

ÅPH 29 - with the assistance of the county administrative boards, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Heritage Board, Sweden aims to develop a coordinated response strategy against physical impact and biological recovery of the coastal environment

ÅPH 30 - develop methods for ecological compensation and the restoration of marine environments, in collaboration with county administrative boards

ÅPH 31 - implement restoration measures for seagrass (Zostera marina) in the North Sea, in collaboration with SwAM and the municipalities concerned

ÅPH 32 - Authorities and municipalities undertaking measures in the marine environment need to report which measures have been implemented and how these affect the environmental quality standards for the marine environment.
