How is NEST used?
The main target audience for the Nest Decision Support System is decision makers in the Baltic Sea region, i.e. primarily HELCOM and water directors. Nest has played an instrumental role in identifying the needed nutrient reductions (Maximum allowable nutrient input) to achieve “Good environmental status” as defined by international decision makers in HELCOM.
Using the Nest Decision Support System, the Swedish branch of Baltic Nest developed the “Country-wise nutrient reduction targets”, which was adopted in the Baltic Sea Action Plan, by HELCOM on November 15, 2007. This is a unique science-based method for dividing needed nutrient reductions between riparian countries and a milestone in the process of improving the Baltic Sea. |
