In the Greater North Sea, point sources are reported in 53% of transitional water bodies as significant pressures, while 30% of waters are influenced by significant diffuse sources. All transitional waters in The Netherlands, Belgium Flanders and Germany are exposed to significant pressures from diffuse sources. All five German transitional water bodies belonging to the North Sea are influenced by diffuse sources, as well as impacted by nutrient enrichment. Both designated transitional water bodies in Sweden and > 80% of waters in The Netherlands and France are exposed to pressures by point sources. Point sources are also significant in 20-50% of the transitional water bodies in the other Greater North Sea countries. Other qualitative correlations between pressures and impacts are observed for UK and France.
