Abstract
- The eutrophication status of the entire Baltic Sea is classified using a multi-metric indicator- based assessment tool. A total of 189 areas are assessed using indicators where information on reference conditions (RefCon), and acceptable devi- ation (AcDev) from reference condition could be combined with national monitoring data from the period 2001-2006. Most areas (176) are classified as 'affected by eutrophication' and only two open water areas and 11 coastal areas are classified as 'unaf- fected by eutrophication'. The classification is made by application of the recently developed HELCOM Eutrophication Assessment Tool (HEAT), which is described in this paper. The use of harmonized
