MIC-EL-MS-IO: For descriptors 3, 5, 6, 8 and 9 it is attempted to approach GES quantitatively using environmental thresholds/limits to describe the desired state of GES. For descriptors 1, 2, 4,7 and 10 a qualitative description of what GES will be like is provided.

To achieve GES there should be: No change in the size and distribution of the seal Monachus monachus in Greek waters. No change in the population size of the Caretta caretta spawning in the Greek coasts. No significant reduction of the survival rate of Posidonia oceanica with time. No significant reduction of the area occupied by the Posidonia oceanica habitat. No significant reduction of the area occupied by the maerl-type sediments and other coralligenous habitats. Compliance of benthic macrofauna communities with environmental quality criteria. No significant adverse effect of the structure of planktonic communities by anthropogenic activities.
