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	B.2 Hazardous substances in the marine environment supplied by human activities must not cause adverse effects on biodiversity and ecosystems. B.2 Hazardous substances in the marine environment introduced through human activities shall not cause adverse effects on biological diversity and ecosystems.	C.3 Populationerna av alla naturligt förekommande fiskarter och skaldjur som påverkas av fiske har en ålders- och storleksstruktur samt popuationsstorlek som garanterar deras långsiktiga hållbarhet. C.3 The populations of all naturally occurring fish species and shellfish affected by fishing have an age and size structure, as well as a population size that guarantee their long-term sustainability. Modification 2025: One of the indcators for assessing the target is deleted and three new indicators are added. in indicators C.3.1 and C.3.2 the target values are modified.	C.4 Presence, species composition of species, and size distribution in the fish community must make it possible to maintain important functions in the food web. (HVMFS 2012:29).
