Target description	A.1 Tillförsel av näringsämnen från mänsklig verksamhet ska minska tills den inte orsakar koncentrationer av kväve och fosfor i havsmiljön som förhindrar att god miljöstatus upprätthålls eller nås. A.1 Input of nutrients from human activities shall decrease decrease until it does not cause concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus in the marine environment which prevent good environmental status from being maintained or achieved	B.1 Tillförsel av farliga ämnen från mänsklig verksamhet ska minska tills den inte orsakar halter av farliga ämnen som förhindrar att god miljöstatus upprätthålls eller nås. B.1 Input of hazardous substances from human activities shall decrease until it does not cause concentrations of hazardous substances which prevent good environmental status from being maintained or achieved	E.1 Havsmiljön ska så långt som möjligt vara fri från skräp. E.1 The marine environment shall, as far as possible, be free from litter. Change 2025: The target has been devided into two separate new targets (E.5 and E.6) for the Swedish part och the North Sea and the Baltic sea because of the great differecies in status between the areas. The indicators used for assessing the targets are also changed especially regarding the target values.	E.5 Mängden marint skräp i Västerhavet ska vara på en nivå som inte hindrar att god miljöstatus upprätthålls eller nås. E.5 The amount of marine litter in Västerhavet should be at a level that does not prevent good environmental status from being maintained or achieved.

Target assessment description	The target is achieved two of three MRU. For description of the target values for the indicator, see HVMFS 2012:18 and the indicator fact sheet.	For description of the target values for the three indicators, see HVMFS 2012:18 and the indicator fact sheets.	Change 2025: The target has been devided into two separate new targets (E.5 and E.6) for the Swedish part och the North Sea and the Baltic sea because of the great differecies in status between the areas. The indicators used for assessing the targets are also changed especially regarding the target values.	For description of the target values for the two indicators, see HVMFS 2012:18 and the indicator fact sheets.	The target is achieved in the four northernmost of the nine MRU. For description of the target values for the indicator, see HVMFS 2012:18 and the indicator fact sheets.	For description of the target values for the three indicators, see HVMFS 2012:18 and the indicator fact sheets.	Change 2025: The target has been devided into two separate new targets (E.5 and E.6) for the Swedish part och the North Sea and the Baltic sea because of the great differecies in status between the areas. The indicators used for assessing the targets are also changed especially regarding the target values.	The indicator for litter on beaches achieve the target values but not the one for litter on bottoms. For description of the target values for the two indicators, see HVMFS 2012:18 and the indicator fact sheets.
