Target description
Winter DIN concentrations are less than 22.5 μmoles/l.
Winter DIP concentrations are less than 0.8 μmoles/l.
The 90th percentile of chlorophyll a concentration (calculated from March to October, averaged over 6 years) is less than 15 µg/l.
If previous target is reached, less than 17 % of monthly samples contain more than 1000.000 Phaeocystis cells/l. (Commission Decision 2008/915/EC)
Complementary target: winter DIN concentrations are less than 12 µmoles/l (offshore) or 15 µmoles/l (coastal)l and winter DIP concentrations are less than 0,8 µmoles/l. (OSPAR COMP)
