The Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management has developed an updated Programme of Measures for the marine environment for the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. This Programme of Measures is the second adopted under the Swedish Marine Environment Ordinance, which is the Swedish implementation of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive, and is an update and complement of the first Programme of Measures decided in 2015. The Programme of Measures sets out the measures needed to comply with the Swedish environmental quality standards for the sea. The overall objective is to maintain or achieve good environmental status.
