The current knowledge base remains fragmented across spatial frameworks, thematic domains, and institutional mandates. Persistent uncertainties and gaps in ecosystem understanding limit the knowledge base. The Arctic Council's limited regulatory mandate means coastal states must play a key role in advancing ecosystem-based marine conservation.

The complexity of the Baltic Sea ecosystem makes it challenging to develop a comprehensive framework for assessing human pressures. The lack of data on human activities and ecosystem components is a challenge. The need to simplify the complexity of the ecosystem in the model is a challenge.

Projecting climate change impacts on marine ecosystems is challenging due to the multiple pressures that act synergistically. Including non-indigenous species in the model is challenging due to the lack of data. Spatially representing the end-to-end ecosystem is challenging due to the complexity of the ecosystem.
