Description criteria |
Nutrient concentrations, along with target concentrations at coastal water stations monitored by the DFMR, along with key statistics and targets introduced by the DFMR in 2014. Comparison of the means with targets, results in an average deviation of +90% (above the targets), and an assigned value of 0.25 for this criterion.
The nutrients concentrations only assessed for coastal waters due to the lack of data for EEZ. |

Oxygen concentrations in coastal waters of Cyprus are high overall . Reference station data were available for years 2016 and 2017 and the target value evaluated for those years indicates that Cyprus waters are in GES with respect to oxygen and this criterion was assigned a value of 1. |
