In a nutshell, any species that do not comply with the BBE for a primary criterion would be considered not to comply with the BEA at the level of the Demarcación Marina. In this regard, criterion D1C3 on C1D2 has been given priority in this case, for the reasons set out above.

As indicated above, little weight is given to the species groups, as the proposed classification does not seem to be adequate to define the species in the Spanish sea basin districts.
