The assessment provides an up-to-date overview of the national welfare benefits, costs and social impacts of using the marine environment.
The assessment is prepared according to the requirements of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008/56/EK) and national regulations to conduct the economic and social analysis of the use of marine waters and the assessment of cost of degradation of the marine environment.
