As part of EEA's ongoing security and identity management improvements, we are currently migrating the system to Entra ID authentication.
We kindly ask all users to start using Entra ID credentials when logging in to the system. 

Please note that LDAP authentication will be phased out and disabled by the end of August 2026.
We encourage you to verify that you can successfully access the system and that your account and permissions function as expected after Entra ID login.
Should you encounter any issues or require assistance during this transition, please contact Laszlo Cseh at laszlo.cseh@eaudeweb.ro 
Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Justification for non-use of criterion
D1C6: Primary criterion D1C6 (i.e. The condition of the habitat type, including its biotic and abiotic structure and its functions, is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures) was also not assessed with regard to pelagic broad habitat types. This was due to limited knowledge and understanding of the correct and robust scientific basis and methodologies by which pelagic habitats could be reliably assessed. Instead habitat-linked assessments carried out under Descriptor 4 – Elements of the marine food webs, Descriptor 5 – Human-induced eutrophication and Descriptor 6 – Sea-floor integrity and other Descriptors (e.g. Properties and quantities of marine litter, Introduction of energy) went a considerable way to inform the assessment of environmental status and condition of habitats in Ireland’s marine area.
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements
D1C6: The evaluation of component D1 "Pelagic habitats" is based exclusively on the study of planktonic communities. This assessment is based on the use of 3 indicators developed within the framework of the OSPAR Regional Sea Convention, in particular within the EcApRHA project. In the absence of threshold values and due to a lack of data (in particular for offshore areas and for zooplankton), none of these indicators made it possible to assess the D1C6 criterion for any major type of pelagic habitat. The methodological standards associated with this criterion will be clarified following further studies, as provided for in the 2019 Ministerial Order relating to the definition of good ecological status for marine waters. The summary of the evaluation is available via this link: https://doi.org/10.13155/60193.
D1C6: It was not possible to analyse the state of pelagic habitats.
