For criteria D6C1 (physical loss), D6C2 (pressures on the seabed) it is estimated that not enough data are available to estimate the extent of natural seabed loss and disturbance. For criterion D6C4 referring to the extent of loss per habitat type, caused by anthropogenic pressures, as a percentage of the natural extent of the habitat type in the assessment area, it is estimated that less than 5 % of the seabed does not achieve GES.

For criteria D6C3 and D6C5, which refer to the extent of adverse effects from anthropogenic pressures on the condition of the habitat type, as a percentage of the natural extent of the habitat type in the assessment area, it is estimated that: less than 15 % of the seabed is not achieving GES.
