<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><DIV STYLE="font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN>Map shows classification of indirect effects of eutrophication for marine waters all over Europe, based on HEAT+ tool. Elevated concentrations of nutrients have direct effects, and these might subsequently lead to secondary (indirect) effects such as reduced depth distribution of submerged aquatic vegetation, changes in the structure and functioning of benthic invertebrate communities, and oxygen depletion. </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 in general good for most parts of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. Data coverage is unsatisfactory for the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. In the North-East Atlantic Ocean data coverage is unsatisfactory for France, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Spain. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>For open waters, data coverage is good in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea and in the Celtic Sea, as well as in the south-western parts of the Black Sea and for Portugal. Data coverage is unsatisfactory for the Mediterranean Sea and for the French and Spanish parts of the North-East Atlantic Ocean.</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></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
