GES description |
Biodiversity is maintained. The quality and occurrence of habitats, as well as the occurrence and density of species, correspond to the prevailing physiographic, geographical and climatic conditions.
|
Mortality per species resulting from accidental by-catch are below levels that threaten the species in the long term.
|
The population density of the species is not adversely affected by man-made pressures, so the long-term survival of the species is ensured.
|
Species population demographic characteristics (e.g. body size or age class structure, gender distribution, reproduction rates, survival rates) indicate a healthy population that is not adversely affected by man-made pressures.
|
In relation to the distribution area for fish that are not exploited commercially, good environmental status is assessed to correspond to favorable conservation status under the Habitats Directive.
|
In relation to habitat for fish that is not exploited commercially, good environmental status is assessed to correspond to favourable conservation status under the Habitats Directive.

Justification for non-use of criterion |
The assessment of criterion D1C3 is not handled for marine mammals and birds as it is a secondary criterion.
|
It is a secondary criterion and therefore not assessed for birds.

Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements |
There is currently no regionally coordinated list of the by-catch of fish that is not used for commercial purposes. Thresholds for fish that are not exploited for commercial purposes have not yet been established
|
No mortality threshold per species has yet been set as a result of incidental by-catch at regional level. Only for porpoises is the by-catch threshold used by Marine Strategy I.
|
Thresholds are set for several of the HELCOM species groups and for certain OSPAR groups. However, for most species, the thresholds must be in accordance with favourable reference population values established by the Member State under Directive 92/43/EEC. As these values do not correspond to those determined regionally, the assessment carried out under Article 17 of the Habitats Directive and Article 12 of the Birds Directive is used where possible.
|
There is currently no regionally coordinated list of the by-catch of fish that is not used for commercial purposes. Thresholds for fish that are not exploited for commercial purposes have not yet been established
|
There are no threshold values but only trends for birds. For marine mammals, the state assessment for Article 17 of the Habitats Directive is reproduced.
