List of Target Species
Target Species - species identified by a Party that meet specific criteria indicating that they may impair or damage the environment, human health, property or resources and are defined for a specific port, State or biogeographic region (IMO, 2007.

The Baltic Sea countries have agreed on the list of target species for the Baltic Sea within HELCOM. The list is being continuously revised and updated by a dedicated Correspondence Group (link).
