Spatial protection in the Baltic Sea results in tangible positive biodiversity outcomes and demonstrably contributes to a healthy and resilient Baltic Sea with diverse biological components functioning in balance.
The Baltic Sea spatial protection network is strategically planned from an ecological perspective and is resilient, coherent,
ecologically representative and
well connected.
The Baltic Sea marine protected area (MPA) network is effectively and equitably managed in an ecologically relevant way, enabling the potential of the network to provide biodiversity benefits to be realized.
