Target description
A.1 The supply of nutrients from human activities shall decrease until it does not cause concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus in the marine environment which prevent good environmental status from being achieved. A.1 Input of nutrients from human activities shall decrease until it does not cause concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus in the marine environment which prevent good environmental status from being achieved.
B.1. The supply of hazardous substances from human activities shall be reduced until it does not cause levels of dangerous substances which prevent good environmental status from being achieved. B.1 Input of hazardous substances from human activities shall decrease until it does not cause concentrations of hazardous substances that prevent good environmental status from being 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.1 The marine environment shall be free of newly-released or newly-translocated non-indigenous species and strains, and non-indigenous species otherwise introduced through human activities, which may adverse effects on genetic or biological diversity or the ecosystem functioning.
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 stock size that guarantee their long-term sustainability.
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).
D.1 The seabed area unaffected by human activities shall have an extent that provides conditions for maintaining the structure and functioning of the habitat types.

Target assessment description
The target value of the indicator is a decrasing trend in input of nitrogen and phosphorus to the basins or that the input of nitrogen and phosphorus are below the maximum allowable input within international agreements. The input of nutrients (including atmospheric deposition are decreasing, but the target values are still not reached. Sweden intends to update the progress in relation to targets in connection with the updating of the Programme of Measures. The assessment in relation to the target from the Programme of Measures decided in 2015 is still valid.
For description of the target values for the three indicators, see HVMFS 2012:18 and the indicator fact sheets. Sweden intends to update the progress in relation to targets in connection with the updating of the Programme of Measures. The assessment in relation to the target from the Programme of Measures decided in 2015 is still valid.

The target value is a decreasing trend in introduction of new non indigenous species due to human activities. Sweden intends to update the progress in relation to targets in connection with the updating of the Programme of Measures. The assessment in relation to the target from the Programme of Measures decided in 2015 is still valid.
