| Target code/description | RAV3: Atmospheric nitrogen inputs from maritime traffic decrease. LUONTO4: Migration barriers for river-migrating fish decrease and area of suitable spawning habitats increases LUONTO4: Migration barriers for river-migrating fish decrease and area of suitable spawning habitats increases. RAV4: Waste water nutrient inputs decrease during 2018-2024 from urban waste water treatment plants, scattered buildings, industry, ships and boats. ALUE1: Maritime spatial planning is carried out in a way that it advances the achievement of good environmental status in marine environment. RAV2: Nutrient inputs from aquaculture do not prevent achieving or maintaining good state of the marine waters. RAV2: Nutrients inputs from aquaculture do not prevent achieving or maintaining good state of the marine waters. RAV1: Inputs of nutrients, organic matter and suspended solids decline from the sources of agriculture and forestry. RAVyleinen: Phosphorus and nitrogen inputs decrease below the maximal allowable inputs and the inputs of suspended solids decline. RAV5: Management possibilities of the sediment nutrient reserves are improved. |
BALEE-T33: BALEE-T33 - reducing the environmental impact from stormwater runoffs (point sources) to the sea. Target 16: Target 16 - reducing anthropogenic inputs of nutrients in accordance to HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan targets (country allocated reduction targets - CART) for Estonia. BALEE-T35: BALEE-T35 - ships visiting Estonian ports are fulfilling environmental requirements set by international conventions. BALEE-T34: BALEE-T34 - supporting the development of environmentally friendly marine aquaculture, including its infrastructure. |
JVM3: Eutrophication is not causing adverse effects on marine ecosystem |
5: Ensure that marine economic activities do not have a significant negative impact on seabed habitats, avoid their degradation and deterioration.
3: Reduce the release of nutrients contributing to eutrophication into the Curonian Lagoon and the Baltic Sea environment. |
PL_Target_D5C1: Maintaining the current decreasing trend of changes in the level of annual nitrogen and phosphorus loads to the Baltic Sea from the Vistula, Oder, Pomeranian and coastal rivers, and decreasing tendency of nitrogen and phosphorus atmospheric deposition to achieve a reduction in nutrient concentrations to levels not exceeding the thresholds that are in line with recommendations of currently valid national and international legal acts and which guarantee the achievement or maintenance of good environmental status. PL_Target_D5C3: Maintaining the decreasing trend of the input of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds to the sea to limit the excessive development of plankton, including toxic cyanobacteria blooms. PL_Target_D5C6: Limiting the excessive growth of opportunistic macroalgae, leading to disturbance of balance in benthic communities by maintaining a decreasing trend of input of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds to the sea. PL_Target_D5C5: Achieving a higher level of oxygenation of bottom waters, especially in the deep sea zone as a result of maintaining a decreasing trend of nitrogen and phosphorus input to the sea, which will result in reduction in conditions causing the increase of oxygen consumption in bottom waters, mainly an excessive increase in the production of organic matter, which will result in lack of negative impacts on organisms living on the seabed and in adjacent waters and will limit the occurrence of internal recurrent enrichment of the ecosystem with phosphorus released from sediments. PL_Target_D5C2: Maintaining the decreasing trend of nitrogen and phosphorus input to the sea influencing the limitation of excessive algae growth and, as a consequence, lowering the concentration of chlorophyll "a" in the water column below the acceptable threshold values, which are in line with the recommendations of currently valid national and international legal acts. PL_Target_D5C4: Maintaining the decreasing trend of nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter input into the sea resulting in the lack of reduction of seawater transparency below acceptable threshold values, which are consistent with the recommendations of currently valid national and international legal acts, leading to disrupt the development of underwater vegetation PL_Target_D5C8: Maintaining the decreasing trend of nitrogen and phosphorus input in order to achieve the improvement of the macrozoobenthos communities in the sea. PL_Target_D5C7: Maintaining the decreasing trend of nitrogen and phosphorus input to the sea in order to reduce the adverse effects of reduced water transparency and oxygenation of bottom waters, which will result in increased share of long-living species in the structure of macrophytes in the places of their existence and increased depth of their occurrence. PL_Target_D5: Maintaining the annual nitrogen and phosphorus loads from rivers and in the form of atmospheric deposition into the Baltic Sea below the Maximum Allowable Input (MAI) established under the regional arrangements (HELCOM), which will allow the nutrient concentration in the sea to be reduced to a level not exceeding the threshold values that are in line with existing national and European Union recommendations and which guarantee the achievement or maintenance of good environmental status and do not cause adverse effects in the form of excessive algae growth, elevated concentrations of chlorophyll "a" in the water column, lowering the seawater transparency and the level of bottom water oxygenation, which in turn favors the proper development of pelagic and benthic habitats |
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 coope...

DK-T5.2: Danish inputs of nitrogen and phosphorus (TN, TP) comply with the maximum acceptable inputs stipulated under HELCOM. (Kattegat) DK-T5.2: Danish inputs of nitrogen and phosphorus (TN, TP) comply with the maximum acceptable inputs stipulated under HELCOM. (Danish Straits) DK-T5.3: Coastal waters: Target loads and needs for measures for fjords, estuaries and coastal waters determined in accordance with the Water Framework Directive are complied with. Targets and needs are described in the Danish river basin management plans. DK-T5.2: Danish inputs of nitrogen and phosphorus (TN, TP) comply with the maximum acceptable inputs stipulated under HELCOM. (Den centrale Østersø) |

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 ac...
