Description parameter	The indicator does not currently have a threshold and the data base is not sufficient. In the future, these gaps need to be filled.	A threshold for abundance in terms of favourable conservation status has not yet been established. However, it is known that there would be a much higher rate than the current one. https://www.bfn.de/themen/natura-2000/berichte-monitoring/nationaler-ffh-bericht.html	https://www.bfn.de/themen/natura-2000/berichte-monitoring/nationaler-ffh-bericht.html	https://www.bfn.de/themen/natura-2000/berichte-monitoring/nationaler-ffh-bericht.html	https://www.bfn.de/themen/natura-2000/berichte-monitoring/nationaler-ffh-bericht.html	The indicator does not currently have a threshold and the data base is not sufficient.

Description criteria	Criterion D1C1 cannot be assessed on the basis of current data. Monitoring should be established in the future and thresholds for the HELCOM indicator should be defined.	Criterion D1C2 is classified as not good as the population after a national evaluation under the Habitats Directive does not reach the favourable conservation status.	Criterion D1C3 is classified as not good as the population is not in good condition after the national evaluation under the Habitats Directive.	Criterion D1C4 is classified as good, since dissemination under the national assessment under the Habitats Directive achieves the favourable conservation status.	Criterion D1C5 is assessed as not good, since the habitat for the species does not reach the favourable conservation status according to the national assessment under the Habitats Directive	Criterion D1C1 cannot be assessed on the basis of current data. Monitoring should be established in the future and thresholds for the HELCOM indicator should be defined.	Criterion D1C2 is classified as unknown as the population could not be assessed after the national evaluation under the Habitats Directive.	Criterion D1C3 is classified as unknown as the population could not be assessed after the national evaluation under the Habitats Directive.	Criterion D1C4 is classified as good, since dissemination under the national assessment under the Habitats Directive achieves the favourable conservation status.

Criterion D1C2 is classified as unknown as the population could not be assessed after the national evaluation under the Habitats Directive.	Criterion D1C3 is classified as unknown as the population could not be assessed after the national evaluation under the Habitats Directive. There is a lack of data.	Criterion D1C4 is classified as good, since dissemination under the national assessment under the Habitats Directive achieves the favourable conservation status.
