GES description |
Biodiversity is maintained, and the abundance of species corresponds to the prevailing physiographic, geographical and climatic conditions.
|
Mortality per species from by-catch is below levels that threaten the species in the long term.
|
Good environmental density for population density is considered to correspond to favorable conservation status (favorable reference population) under the Habitats Directive.
|
Good environmental status for distribution area is considered to correspond to favorable conservation status (favorable reference range) under the Habitats Directive.
|
Good environmental density for population density is considered to correspond to favorable conservation status (habitat for species) under the Habitats Directive.

Justification for non-use of criterion |
It is a secondary criterion and therefore not assessed for birds.

Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements |
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 are no threshold values but only trends for birds. For marine mammals, the state assessment for Article 17 of the Habitats Directive is reproduced.
|
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
