• 1150 Lagoons
• 1160 Large shallow inlets and bays
• 1170 Reefs
• 1180 ”Bubble reefs”
• 1610 Baltic esker islands
• 1620 Baltic islets and small islands

• Also a process of communication
with the 14 counties.
• Counties responsible for the
actionplan for GI and designation
and management of MPAs

TargetsBiodiversity targets
Conservation targets
Key Ecological Attributes
• Species and/or ecosystem functions that are
representative and include the biological diversity in the
subregions.
• The targets will be the base for the goals and for
monitoring and evaluation of the MPA network, GI and
biodiversity
Aphotic hard bottoms
• Depth > 20 m
• Substrate > 64 mm
Aphotic soft bottoms
• Depth > 20 m
• Substrate < 64 mm
Photic hard bottoms
• Depth < 20 m
• Substrate > 64 mm
Photic soft bottoms
• Depth < 20 m
• Substrate < 64 mm

Framework aims to:
1. Fully integrate MSFD, OSPAR, HELCOM, N2000
2. Support reporting and communication
3. Enable effective management of the marine environment
