- Localisation of obstacles present on the bottom of the Baltic Sea, including mainly fishing nets.
- Localisation of potential barriers of anthropogenic origin for marine mammals in the SNP area of the sea.
- Development of the location maps of threats to marine mammals, and the use of the Baltic Sea within the boundaries of the park by marine mammals.
