<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><P><SPAN>Map shows classification of nutrient concentration levels for marine waters all over Europe, based on HEAT+ tool. Inputs of nutrients to transitional, coastal and marine waters from upstream catchments, atmospheric deposition and neighbouring waters may result in elevated nutrient concentrations, or nutrient enrichment. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Status is evaluated in five classes:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>- NPAhigh and NPAgood are recognised as ‘non-problem areas’</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>- PAmoderate, PApoor and PAbad are recognised as ‘problem areas’</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The assessment is based on available data from the Regional Sea Conventions and from Member States. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Data coverage for coastal waters is good in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Celtic Sea, Portuguese coastal waters, and in Turkish waters in the Black Sea. However, data coverage is in general unsatisfactory for the Mediterranean Sea and for French, Scottish and Spanish coastal waters in the North-East Atlantic Ocean. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>For offshore waters, data coverage is good in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Skagerrak and the Celtic Sea. Data coverage for open parts of the Bay of Biscay, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea is unsatisfactory. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>More information can be found in the report 'Nutrient enrichment and eutrophication in Europe's seas': https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/nutrient-enrichment-and-eutrophication-in</SPAN></P></DIV> |
