SWOT - ANALYSIS RESULTS
OF
ECOLOGICAL TARGETS GROUP
opportunities
threats
strengths
weaknesses
- Educational to scientists & decison makers
- Integration of knowledge & international
cooperation
- General understanding of how the open Baltic
works
- Development of strategies (fish model)
- Too much precision and too quantitative for
managers. Make cost/ investments relative to base
model
- Move from hard data to fuzzy logic methods?
- Models not linked in way managers require
- Cannot accommodate fine resolution and minute
processes, e.g. N & P links.
- Mismatch between geographical units and those
used by WFD
- Data inadequate/ missing
- Too few targets (nutrients, Secchi, anoxia, fish
reduction).
- Coast not included.
- Response time of system to measures.
opportunities
threats
- May be helpful in implementing WFD as a tool
- Need to incorporate climate change effects
- MARE to underpin WFD implementation
- Save duplication
- Integrate with other Baltic programmes
- Export value to other semi-enclosed seas
- Regionalisation of application and further
development of tool.
- Increase number of targets.
- Coupling NEST to other ICZM models / sci
models.
- Top-down and bottom-up connection (sci-man)
- Managers to believe the data produced
- Science not sufficiently well-developed
- Managers need educating regarding ‘ecological
change’
- Duplicating effort with other initiatives
- That MARE does not help to fullfil WFD
- Maintenance? Long term perspective
- Too much confidence in NEST: ‘keep thinking!’

(cause – effect)
- Cannot accommodate fine resolution and minute
processes, e.g. N & P links.
- Mismatch between geographical units and those used
by WFD
- Data inadequate/ missing
- Too few SMART targets (nutrients, Secchi, anoxia,
fish reduction).
- Coast not included.
