1 Appendix 5 Summary of protection values of Finnish marine protection areas s Table lists relevant Finnish Marine s in the vicinity of NSP2 project area and their conservation objectives. Sites are listed from east to west. Table represents only marine conservation objectives. Terrestrial habitats are not represented, except for those Baltic Sea and coastal habitats, which may have underwater parts also. For Species referred to in Article 4 of Directive 2009/147/EC and listed in Annex II of Directive 92/43/EEC only those are represented which frequently are known to use offshore areas and outermost parts of archipelagos. Bird listed on Annex 1 are noted with 1. * = priority habitat. For seals table includes which are confirmed as conservation objective for the target site and also which are proposed, non-confirmed conservation objectives. ** = non-confirmed, proposed conservation objective (seals). For other and Natura 2000 habitats table includes only confirmed conservation objectives of the target sites. habitats Eastern Gulf of Finland and Waters FI SPA/SAC Grey seal Sandbanks 1110 Ringed seal** Coastal lagoons* 1149 Reefs 1170 Baltic esker islands 1610 Caspian tern 1 Boreal baltic islets and islands 1620 Luodematalat FI SAC Reefs 1170 Länsiletto Area FI SAC Reefs 1170 Pernaja and Pernaja FI SPA/SAC Grey seal Coastal lagoons* 1150 Ringed seal** Reefs 1170 Northern pintail Baltic esker islands 1610 Boreal baltic islets and islands 1620 Boreal Baltic narrow inlets 1650 Smew Caspian tern 1 The Sea Area South of Sandkallan FI SAC Reefs 1170
