Abstract
Dissolved inorganic nitrogen is present in seawater both as nitrite, nitrate and ammonium. As a complement to the overall assessment of nutrient status, detailed information on the distribution of different species must be obtained. 1.2 Purpose and aims Monitoring of nutrients in seawater is carried out to identify and quantify the amount of nutrients, which may cause eutrophication. The aim is to provide spatiotemporal information for detection of short-term status and long-term trends and to ensure that the data is comparable for the HELCOM core indicator ‘Dissolved inorganic nitrogen‘. The indicator description, including its monitoring requirements, is given in the HELCOM core indicator web site: http://helcom.fi/baltic-sea-trends/indicators/nitrogen-din.

Sustainable Development Goals
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.1 By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.3 Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels
Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts::13.1 Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.a Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.1 By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution::14.1.1 (a) Index of coastal eutrophication; and (b) plastic debris density
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.3 Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels::14.3.1 Average marine acidity (pH) measured at agreed suite of representative sampling stations
