UZO1.2: Operational environmental objective for the overarching environmental objective 'seas without adverse effects from anthropogenic eutrophication': Nutrient inputs via remote entries from other marine areas should be reduced. This should be done in the framework of the regional cooperation of HELCOM.
UZO1.1: Operational environmental objective for the overarching environmental objective 'seas without adverse effects from anthropogenic eutrophication': Nutrient inputs via the rivers are to be further reduced. Reduction targets have been set in the programs of measures of the WFD. The phosphorus and nitrogen compound loads from German tributaries to the Baltic Sea have been declining since the 1980s. However, since 2000, there has hardly been a decreasing trend and, very strong annual fluctuations have occurred. In 2014, about 2,800 tons of nitrogen and about 112 tons of phosphorus were introduced into the Baltic Sea via the river basin districts Schlei / Trave and Warnow / Peene (UBA 2017). If one additionally considers the entries of smaller inflows, e.g. into the small lagoon in the Oder catchment area, as well as the German entries into the Oder, then approx. 9,600 tons of nitrogen and approx. 360 tons of phosphorus were registered in the Baltic Sea in 2014 (UBA 2017). The nutrient inputs of the surface waters draining into the Baltic Sea with the substance input model MoRe decreased by 19% (5,119 tons) for nitrogen and 17% (168 tons) for phosphorus compared to the evaluation periods 2012-2014 and 2006-2011 (UBA 2017, Fuchs et al 2016). Compared to the 2012-2014 and 1983-1987 evaluation periods, nutrient inputs decreased by 65% ​​(40,835 tonnes) for nitrogen and 78% (2,844 tonnes) for phosphorus (Source: MoRe). According to the MoRe substance input model, agriculture (78% of nitrogen inputs and 51% of phosphorus inputs) followed by point sources (eg sewage treatment plants) (9% of nitrogen inputs and 20% of phosphorus inputs) were the main contributors to nutrient inputs over the period 2012-2014. Entries from urban areas and atmospheric deposition on surface waters in the catchment area of ​​the Baltic Sea played a subordinate role.
UZO3: The global objective is: "Seas without harming marine species and habitats through the impact of human activities". The objective is implemented by means of the operational objectives UZO3.1, UZO3.2, UZO3.3, UZO3.4 and UZO3.5. The environmental objectives established in 2012 and their description under the 2012 MSFD report continue to apply. They are the basis for the 2016-2021 programme of measures notified to the European Commission in 2016. 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 report shows the achievement of objectives and the state of implementation of the measures respectively. Only in individual cases where an indicator assessment on progress towards achieving the target is available, this will be reported in the Progress Assessment.
UZO4: The global objective is: "Seas with sustainably and carefully used resources". The objective is implemented by means of the operational objectives TSO4.1, UZO4.2, UZO4.3, UZO4.4, UZO4.5 and UZO4.6. The environmental objectives established in 2012 and their description under the 2012 MSFD report continue to apply. They are the basis for the 2016-2021 programme of measures for notified to the European Commission in 2016. 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 report shows the achievement of objectives and/or the state of implementation of the measures. Only in individual cases where an indicator assessment is available on progress towards achieving the target will this be reported in the Progress Assessment.
UZO1.3: Operational objective for the overall environmental objective 'Seas without impacts from anthropogenic eutrophication: Nutrient inputs from the atmosphere should be further reduced.
