Summary

Researchers developed an analytical framework applying the Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) model to Baltic Sea shipping, mapping how commercial vessel traffic creates environmental pressures — including pollution and underwater noise — that cascade into ecosystem service losses and human wellbeing impacts.

The aim of this report is to create a framework to understand and ultimately assess the linkages from the drivers of shipping in the Baltic Sea to its effects on ecosystem services and human wellbeing. Available Drivers Pressures State Impact Response (DPSIR) frameworks are analysed and adapted to shipping in the Baltic Sea. The developed DPSIR framework will be operationalised in further steps using available indicators. An adapted DPSIR framework and especially the reviewed indicators will be used to assess potential changes to ecosystem services compared to Business As Usual (BAU) and an integrated assessment and policy analysis to reduce pressures from shipping in the Baltic Sea.
