Description element |
Coastal areas were assessed based on indicator 5.2A (chlorophyll and biovolume), building on the assessment done according to the Water Framework Directive but aggregated to coastal water type.
Good environmental status was reached for approximately 84 % of the coastal waters in the Swedish part of the North Sea. No method is available for quantitative assessment of good environmental status at criteria level. |
For the open sea, assessment was made based on regionally agreed indicators (indicators 1.6A, 5.3A, 5.3B) plus a national indicator on species composition of phytoplankton (indicator 1.6B). In the open sea, threshold values were reached for all indicators only in Skagerrak’s offshore areas (ANS-SE-AA-U_Skagerrak). In the remaining area threshold levels values for at least one of the indicators assessed were not reached. No method is available for quantitative assessment of good environmental status at criteria level. |
