| Target code/description | LUVAyleinen: Use of natural resources is ecologically sustainable and does not risk achieving or maintaining good state. ALUE1: Maritime spatial planning is carried out in a way that it advances the achievement of good environmental status in marine environment. LUONTO1: Marine protected areas cover at least 10% of each of the five marine areas and form an ecologically coherent network. LUVA3: Hunting game bag of common eider (Somateria mollissima) and long-tailed duck (Clangula hyemalis) will be on sustainable level and in balance with the state of the populations. LUVA1: Managing the coastal fisheries secures its sustainability for the most important target species, support biological diversity and not risk achievement of good state. LUONTO2: Marine protected areas will effectively protect the features for which they have been established. Within-MPA pressures will be lower than outside in order to ensure habitats’ and species’ viability and favourable conservation status. Management plans will be made on the basis of the local underwater nature and the pressures threatening it. LUONTO3: Disturbing or adversely affecting traffic and human presence and activities decrease in marine protected areas. TIETO1: Knowledge basis for ringed seal conservation measures is solid in the subpopulations of Archipelago Sea and Gulf of Finland. |
BALEE-T34: BALEE-T34 - supporting the development of environmentally friendly marine aquaculture, including its infrastructure. |
JVM1: Anthropogenic activities have not negatively impacted marine habitats and species |
1: Ensure that the exploitation intensity of commercially exploited fish populations does not exceed safe biological limits and preserves the structure of the Baltic Sea food web. In the paper report “NATIONAL PROGRAMME OF MEASURES FOR 2017-2023 TO ACHIEVE AND / OR MAINTAIN THE GOOD STATUS...

PL_Target_D6C5_zoobenthos: Reducing the pressures associated with the introduction of biogenic, synthetic, non-synthetic substances, organic matter into the environment as well as pressure related with extraction and compaction of the substrate causing secondary abrasion and siltation in order to restore close to the natural structure of macrozoobenthos communities. In relation to substance introduction, the targets are consistent with those for D5, D8 and D9. In terms of impact on the seabed, the targets are consistent with those for the criteria D6C1, D6C2, D6C3 and D7C1 and D7C2 PL_Target_D4C4: Not increasing the pressure associated with the introduction of biogenic substances and organic matter and the scale of exploitation of the species listed in the Birds Directive and the Habitats Directive to a level that guarantees maintenance of the natural productivity of trophic guilds. PL_Target_D4C2_Dia/Dino: Not increasing the level of nutrients and organic matter in the environment in order to maintain or increase the share of diatoms in relation to the share of Dinoflagellates in the phytoplankton structure. PL_Target_D1C6_zooplankton: Maintain or reduce the pressures relating to the input of the nutrient, synthetic and non-synthetic compounds, and organic matter into marine environment, in order to maintain zooplankton size structure and biomass at the current level. PL_Target_D1C2_fish: Reduction of overexploitation of fish within the transitional waters to the level that the key species natural diversity, abundance, size, and age structure is achieved PL_Target_D4: Reduction of the impact of human activity to the level that enables the ecosystem to achieve a state where all elements of the marine trophic chain will show a natural and stable level of abundance and diversity, and the productivity of biotic components guarantees the proper functioning of the food web. PL_Target_D4C2: Reduction of the nutrients and organic matter load to the sea, and reduction of the level of exploitation of species listed in the Habitats Directive and Birds Directive to a level that guarantees the balance of abundance between trophic guilds. PL_Target_D1C3_LFI: Reduction of overexploitation of marine species in the open sea to the level of natural share of large fish in the structure of fish communities. PL_Target_white tailed eagle: Maintaining or increasing the productivity of the white-tailed eagle by maintaining or reducing the current level of anthropogenic pressure associated with the introduction of synthetic and non-synthetic compounds into the environment and disturbance in breeding sites. PL_Target_D4C3: Not increasing the pressure associated with the introduction of biogenic substances and organic matter and the scale of exploitation of the species listed in the Birds Directive and the Habitats Directive to a level that guarantees maintenance of the natural size distribution of individuals in the trophic guild. PL_Target_D4C1: Reduction of the nutrients and organic matter load to the sea, and reduction of the level of exploitation of species listed in the Habitats Directive and Birds Directive to a level that guarantees natural diversity of trophic guilds |
UZO5.1: Continuous reduction of inputs and already present waste result in a significant reduction of waste with harmful effects on the marine environment on beaches, the sea surface, the water column and the seabed. The objective is "Seas without pressures from waste".

DK-T4.1: The Ministry of Environment and Food contributes to regional work regarding establishment of threshold values and determination of good environmental status, and works to ensure that the anthropogenic impacts on the food web are in accordance hereto. DK-T4.2: The Ministry of Environment and Food contributes to regional knowledge and methodology development on marine food webs. (Operational target) DK-T6.6: The northern Sound is designated as a marine protected area pursuant to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, and new licences to extract mineral resources are stopped. This will not result in any changes in relation to the existing fisheries regulation DK-T6.10: The need for additional marine protected areas or other initiatives in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea is assessed, and a similar assessment is subsequently carried out for the Danish Straits. (Operational target) DK-T4.3: The Ministry of Environment and Food is tracking the development in the food web through monitoring the individual sub-elements of the web. (Operational target) |
BALSE-D.1_Havsbottenareal_struktur_funktion: 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.
