GES description		Beyond territorial waters, the concentrations of contaminants do not exceed the threshold values in marine water and biota.	The levels of contaminants in the marine environment do not cause adverse effects on seagrass and macroalgal species and their communities.

Justification for non-use of criterion
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements			Currently, criteria and thresholds for the adverse effect of contaminants on seagrass habitats are missing. These need to be developed in future.	No data available yet.	Currently, criteria and thresholds for the adverse effect of contaminants on seagrass and macroalgal habitats are missing.
