The good environmental status for D1 is defined, among other things, by the fact that: "... the coastal waters are in good ecological status and the entire coastal marine area is in good chemical status in accordance with the WFD, ... the habitat types of Annex I (LRT 11xx) of the Habitats Directive relevant for the marine area of ​​the Baltic Sea are in a favorable conservation status, ... the species of Annex II of the Habitats Directive relevant for the marine area of ​​the Baltic Sea, as well as species of the Birds Directive relevant for the marine area of the Baltic Sea, are in a favorable conservation state due to the quality of its food habitat, ... the goals of individual species or species group-specific conventions (e.g. ASCOBANS, Jastarnia plan) have been achieved, ... according to HELCOM. According to Commission Decision (EU) 2017/848, the following criteria are used to assess the good environmental status with regard to D1 birds: D1C1, D1C2, D1C3, D1C4, D1C5. At the moment, an evaluation was only possible for criterion D1C2. Explanation: Germany does not update the general description of the good environmental status of 2012 at descriptor level in this reporting round. During the reporting period, Germany worked with the countries bordering the Baltic Sea as part of the EU's MSFD-CIS process and in HELCOM to develop methodological standards (indicators, evaluation methods). Specific details of criteria and indicators that contribute to a quantitative assessment of good environmental status are reported in the reporting schema Art.8_GES. For the evaluation of the criteria of the Commission Decision (EU) 2017/848, the evaluations according to other EU directives, where relevant, are included under Art.8_GES schema, as far as possible the previously coordinated regional evaluations are taken into account and in individual cases supplemented by national evaluations.
