The value of the wet biomass of the sensitive species should be equal to or more than 60 % of the total wet macrophyte biomass within the seagrass habitat extent.
The EQR of the Zostera noltei pollution index (ZnoPI) (Karamfilov et al., 2019) value should be equal to or more than 0.775 at around 3 m depth.
