UZN1.3: Operational objective for the overall environmental objective 'Seas without impacts from anthropogenic eutrophication: Nutrient inputs from the atmosphere should be further reduced.
UZN1: The aim is to 'seas without adverse effects from eutrophication'. The objective is implemented by means of the operational objectives UZN1.1, UZN1.2 and UZN1.3. The environmental objectives established in 2012 and their description under the 2012 MSFD report continue to apply. They are the basis for the 2016-2016 programme of measures for the period 2016-2021, notified to the European Commission in, for the European Commission. Since the implementation of the measures was only started in 2016, an assessment of the progress and effectiveness of the measures as a basis for updating the environmental objectives is often not yet possible. Where possible, the text of the text shows the achievement of objectives and/or the state of implementation of the measures. The indicator evaluation on progress towards achieving targets is reported in the Progress Report on operational objectives.
UZN1.1: Operational objective of the overall environmental objective 'Seas without impacts from anthropogenic eutrophication: Nutrient inputs into rivers need to be further reduced. Reduction targets have been laid down in the programmes of measures of the WFD management plans. Over the period 2012-2014, agriculture was the main source of nutrient inputs to surface waters (71 % of nitrogen inputs and 44 % of phosphorus inputs), followed by input from point sources (e.g. waste water treatment plants)(21 % of nitrogen inputs and 35 % of phosphorus inputs)(source: Fuchs et al. 2016, UBA 2017). Nutrient inputs from urban areas and atmospheric deposition on surface waters played a minor role. The nutrient inputs to surface waters drained in the North Sea, measured using the MoRe intake model, have decreased by 18 % (2012 tonnes) for nitrogen (2014 tonnes) and 11 % (2006 tonnes) for phosphorus (Fuchs et al.) in comparison with the 2011-78.050 and 2.070- assessment periods. 2016, UBA 2017). Compared with the assessment periods 2012-2014 and 1983-1987, the nutrient inputs decreased by 56 % (450.638 tonnes) for nitrogen and 74 % (49.624 tonnes) for phosphorus (source: More). The objective of OSPAR to reduce nutrient inputs into marine waters by 50 % (in relation to 1985) has thus been met.
UZN1.2: Operational objective for the overall environmental objective 'Seas without impacts from anthropogenic eutrophication: Nutrients via remote inputs from other sea areas should be reduced. This is to be pursued within the context if the regional cooperation under the OSPAR Marine Convention.
