Target description
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.

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.
