Large shallow inlets bays (according to Habitats Directive Annex I) are large, shallow indentations of the coast, sheltered from wave action and where, in contrast to estuaries, the influence of freshwater is generally limited. The distribution map is based on data submission by HELCOM contracting parties. Most of the submitted data is based on GIS analysis and modelling, but also field inventories and ground-truthing has been carried out in some areas. Data coverage, accuracy and the methods in obtaining the data vary between countries.

Observations of Myosotella myosotis were collected from the Baltic Sea area for HELCOM Red List species list. The HELCOM Red List of Baltic Sea species in danger of becoming extinct (2013) is the first threat assessment for Baltic Sea species that covers all marine mammals, fish, birds, macrophytes (aquatic plants), and benthic invertebrates, and follows the Red List criteria of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Almost 2800 species were considered in the Red List assessment and about 1750 were evaluated according to the IUCN Red List criteria. Myosotella myosotis has been placed to the Red List category of Data Deficient (DD) species. Dataset for download contains spatial grid of the Baltic Sea. Distribution of the species can be found in corresponding name column. Values are coded: 1 - Present before year 2000 or in 2000, 2 - Present after year 2000, 3 - Present both before and after year 2000.

Almost 2800 species were considered in the Red List assessment and about 1750 were evaluated according to the IUCN Red List criteria. Euspira pallida has been placed to the Red List category of Vulnerable (VU) species. Dataset for download contains spatial grid of the Baltic Sea. Distribution of the species can be found in corresponding name column. Values are coded: 1 - Present before year 2000 or in 2000, 2 - Present after year 2000, 3 - Present both before and after year 2000.

This core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment in terms of the nutritional status of seals measured as average blubber thickness of seal populations as it signals both long term and short-term changes in food supply and many other stressors for the seal populations. Good status is achieved when the subcutaneous blubber thickness is above the defined threshold value, which reflects good conditions. This dataset displays the result of the indicator in HELCOM Assessment Scale 1 (the entire Baltic Sea, without the Kattegat). Attribute information: "Assessment" = Name of assessment unit for the evaluation "Status" = Status of the indicator (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”) "Threshold value" = Threshold value (mm blubber thickness) "Specimen" = Specimen information "Indicator value" = Indicator value 2011-2016 "Confidence limit" = 95% confidence limit "Notes" = Additional information "AULEVEL" = Assessment unit level used for the indicator "Species" = Species Assessed
