Draft blueprint for process for idenfitying a list of protection targets for species and habitats

Determining protection targets and indicators (HELCOM, SwAM, SLU, BfN, SYKE, VSTT, MoE, AAU): will determine ecologically relevant SMART protection targets for spatial protection, using a semi-quantified matrix. T6.3 will also identify protection indicators, to assess effectiveness and progress towards targets.

Exploitation strategy

Developing a long-term sustainability strategy, ensuring continued delivery of results after the project and securing uptake of project outputs. The Sustainability strategy will be based on the original exploitation strategy developed at the beginning of the project as well as the interim analysis of exploitation impact.

Report on what data has been collated and uploaded to the various database

Report describing which data has been collated and uploaded to the various database/portal to illustrate how various portals/databases have been enriched.

Requirement specification of the HELCOM MPA portal

Defining requirement specification for HELCOM MPA portal (HELCOM): T8.1 will establish the requirement specification of the HELCOM MPA portal and define the data model for the HELCOM MPA database; the MPA portal user interface; the users and roles of MPA portal (public vs. editor); and the required integration with other tools and databases.
