Description parameter		[there are no thresholds for non-DMA area]	Over 250 PID registers are available from samples collected both in coastal waters in the period 2011-2016. Threshold values were defined for the coastal zone (sensu DMA) of the area assessed according to those used for the evaluation of the Water Framework Directive. For the rest of the marine area, the basic values calculated for the first initial assessment of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive were used as a threshold value. DIP (um): Costal zone WFD 0.97	Some 200 chlorophyll registers were available in the water column for the period 2011-2016. The records came from samples taken in coastal stations, i.e. from the waters assessed by the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Chlorophyll a (Âµg/L): Costal zone WFD 12

Description criteria	In coastal waters, the thresholds of the moderate/good status of the Water Framework Directive were exceeded for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (nitrate or ammonium) and total nitrogen more frequently than in the previous period. The 90th percentile values (P90) increased between 35-38Â % for nitrate and fostate, and more than double for ammonium. The highest concentrations, values above P90, corresponded to the coastal lakes in the Galician estuaries of Vigo, Pontevedra and Arosa, or areas in coastal waters compared to large urban areas, such as La CoruÃ±a, Bilbao and GijÃ³n.

The highest concentrations, values above P90, corresponded to the coastal lakes in the Galician estuaries of Vigo, Pontevedra and Arosa, or areas in coastal waters compared to large urban areas, such as La CoruÃ±a, Bilbao and GijÃ³n.		The registers analysed for the chlorophyll criterion did not exceed the threshold for Condition B/M set for BEB in this area in more than 10Â % of the cases. The chlorophyll criterion is therefore to be found in BEA. The areas with the highest concentrations are located in the external waters of the rÃas of Vigo, Pontevedra and Arosa, the coastal waters of CorcubiÃ³n, and coastal waters off large agglomerations such as La CoruÃ±a, GijÃ³n and Bilbao. As in the other areas of the North Atlantic demarcation, there has been an increase in values as from 2014.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	More than 97Â % of the recorded concentrations were lower than the threshold value (5Â mg/l) indicating that the analysed areas are in BEA on this criterion. Most of the values were slightly below average values.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because it is not included in the list of national indicators

Description element		In coastal waters, nitrate values were generally within the limit values for the Buene/Moderate condition of the BEA, although 6Â % of the records exceeded this threshold. The highest concentrations, values above P90, corresponded to the coastal lakes in the Galician estuaries of Vigo, Pontevedra and Arosa, or areas in coastal waters compared to large urban areas, such as La CoruÃ±a and Bilbao. The records for ammonium were above the B/M threshold value of BEA in 19Â % of cases, with particularly high values at the end of 2014. For this nutrient, an increase in data above the base value (P90) is also observed for the time series, with 36Â % of the values exceeding this level. The maximum concentration areas (13.5 Î¼M) coincide with the areas in which the maximum nitrate and phosphate concentrations were obtained.	The DIP concentration exceeded the assessment threshold value by 9Â % of the total records, although 12Â % of the data for the period 2011-2016 had values above the basic value. The data shows an increase in phosphate concentration from 2014, with values reaching a maximum of 4.2 Î¼M in December 2014 on the Asturian coast. for the DIP the maximum values (between 0.85 and 4.2 Î¼M) were obtained in the waters close to the Galician rÃas, and coastal areas close to large urban areas, in particular La CoruÃ±a and GijÃ³n.	Chlorophyll values for the area Nor C2 showed more moderate values than in other areas of the North Atlantic demarcation, with a maximum of 14.5 Î¼g L-1 obtained in July 2016 at the mouth of the River MiÃ±o. It is noted that the concentration of chlorophyll is an increasing trend from 2014 to mid-2016.			More than 97Â % of the recorded concentrations were lower than the threshold value (5Â mg/l) indicating that the analysed areas are in BEA on this criterion. However, some NorC2 values showed very low data, such as the station in CorcubiÃ³n where a concentration of 3.5Â mg L-1 was found in July 2015.

Description overall status	Criterion D5C1 does not reach BEA for exceeding by more than 10Â % of DIN and DIP the threshold value of good/moderate status set for DMA.The highest concentrations of nitrate, ammonium and phosphate were found at some of the stations in the Galician rÃas, the mouth of the river Sella and the coastal waters off the large urban areas (La CoruÃ±a, GijÃ³n, Bilbao and San Sebastian). There is a general trend of increasing the three elements of the criterion analysed, which is more marked as from 2014. Criterion D5C2 amounts to BEA since the thresholds values established for the area in more than 10Â % of the records were not exceeded. However, it is noted that data for the period 2015-2016 show an increasing trend of the values of this criterion. Criterion D5C5 amounts to BEA since the thresholds values established for the area in more than 10Â % of the records were not exceeded. However, in some samples collected in the contrasting productivity areas, some values were raised significantly below the established threshold (e.g. 3.5Â mg L-1 in July 2015), which may indicate potential problems in a localised area.

Description parameter		[there are no thresholds for non-DMA area]	Over 250 PID registers are available from samples collected both in coastal waters in the period 2011-2016. A threshold value for the coastal zone (sensu WFD) has been defined for the area assessed as used for the evaluation of the Water Framework Directive. This threshold value was 0.97 micromoles per litre	There were more than 500 chlorophyll registers in the water column for the period 2011-2016. The records came from samples taken in coastal stations, i.e. from the waters assessed by the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The threshold value used, which is the same as that used in the application of the WFD, was 12 micrograms litres.			Over 700 oxygen concentration records were obtained

Description criteria	Although DIP concentrations were found below the threshold at a higher rate of 90Â %, the fact that the DIN concentrations exceeded the thresholds more frequently than expected, leads to the conclusion that the criterion is not in good condition.	In coastal waters, the thresholds of DIN were exceeded more often than expected.	DIP concentrations were found below the threshold at a percentage greater than 90Â %.	D5C2 for the NorC3 area did not show values above the threshold in more than 10Â % of the cases, therefore it is concluded that the BEA reaches.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	The values for the oxygen concentration element were not below the threshold value (5Â mg/l) in more than 10Â % of the records indicating that the analysed areas are in BEA for this criterion.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because it is not included in the list of national indicators
Element status		Not good	Good	Good			Good
Description element		The DIN element showed a higher increase in nutrient concentration from 2014 onwards in the NorC3 area, particularly ammonium. Thus, the nitrate concentration recorded an average value of 3.45 ÂµM, with 3Â % of the values above the threshold. The highest concentrations were obtained at stations located in front of La CoruÃ±a, Muros estuary, and GijÃ³n. For ammonium, up to 28Â % of records exceeded the threshold value. The highest concentrations were also obtained in coastal areas located off large urban areas, such as GijÃ³n, Bilbao and San Sebastian, with values above 5 ÂµM.	The DIP ranged from 2011-2014 to lower values between 2014-, with maximum values increased to 4ÂµM. Overall, however, only 9Â % of DIP values were above the threshold. Very high DIP values were recorded in December 2013 against Ribadesella (mouth of RÃo Sella) at concentrations up to 48 ÂµM.	The thresholds for assessment were not exceeded by more than 10Â % of the records. However, there was an increasing trend in chlorophyll concentration over the evaluation period. de facto, the maximum concentration (18.75Âµg L-1) was recorded at the mouth of the river Anllonds in June 2015. On the other hand, the higher values of the item were obtained at stations located off the Muros estuary, La CoruÃ±a, GijÃ³n, Bilbao and San Sebastian.			The values of oxygen concentration were not below the threshold value (5Â mg/l) in more than 10Â % of the cases, indicating that the analysed areas are in BEA for this criterion. However, some data showed that low oxygen concentrations were occasionally found at a station in Corcubion.

Description parameter	[there are no thresholds for non-DMA area]	Over 300 PID registers are available from samples collected both in coastal waters in the period 2011-2016. Threshold values were defined for the areaâs coastal zone assessed in accordance with those used for the evaluation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). For the rest of the marine area, the basic values calculated for the first initial assessment of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive were used as a threshold value. DIP (um): 0.6-0.7 costal zone (depending on the water typology defined in the WFD)	Some 230 chlorophyll registers were available in the water column for the period 2011-2016. The records came from samples taken in coastal stations, i.e. from the waters assessed by the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The threshold values were 3-6 Âµg/L (depending on the water body typology as defined under the WFD)			More than 300 oxygen concentration records were available

Description criteria	Criterion D5C1 does not reach BEA since the values recorded in coastal waters exceeded the assessment thresholds for DIN and DIP elements and there was an increasing trend from 2014 onwards.	As with the DIN, DIP concentrations exceeded the threshold value more often than expected, in particular as of 2014. Consequently, this indicator is not in good environmental status.	The percentage of registrations in which the threshold was exceeded was well below 10Â %. However, it should be noted that chlorophyll tended to increase in 2014-2016 compared with 2011-2013.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	However, in the period 2014-2016, a decrease in oxygen concentration was observed with values overall below the average (although larger than the threshold).	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because it is not included in the list of national indicators

Description element	12Â % to 9Â % of the nitrate and ammonium registers respectively were found above the threshold. The highest concentrations were obtained at stations close to the mouth of the river Sella (Asturias), with nitrate concentrations of 20 ÂµM and ammonium nitrate of 30 ÂµM. In addition, a growing trend is also observed in the concentration of DIN as from 2014, when 36Â % of the records were found above the threshold and the maximum above was found in the ammonium concentration.	The DIP showed values close to the threshold between 2011 and 2014 and there was a sharp increase since this date. Overall, 14Â % of DIP values were found above the threshold, all of which were from sampling carried out between 2014 and 2017.

Description overall status	Criterion D5C1 does not reach BEA because it exceeds by more than 10Â % of the records for some of the parameters forming the threshold value.

Description parameter		Some 130 nitrate and ammonium concentration registers, as well as nitrite, have been made available from 120. All of them come from samples taken in coastal waters from the Water Framework Directive between 2011 and 2015. Threshold values were defined for the coastal zone (sensu DMA) of the area assessed according to those used for the evaluation of the Water Framework Directive. For the rest of the marine area, the basic values calculated in the first initial assessment of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive were used as a threshold value (note that there is no defined ammonium threshold value for the non-coastal area). The threshold values for the parameters that shape the element were: Nitrate (micromoles per litre): Costal zone WFD 6	There were about 130 records of DIP, all of which were taken from samples taken in coastal waters in the period 2011-2015. Threshold values were defined for the coastal zone (sensu DMA) of the area assessed according to those used for the evaluation of the Water Framework Directive. (micromoles per litre): Costal area â WFD: 0.2	100 TN registers were available from stations in coastal water bodies. There are no thresholds values defined for this element.	100 TP records were available from stations located in coastal water bodies. There are no thresholds values defined for this element.

Description criteria	Although DIP concentrations were often very low, the fact that the concentrations of DIN were on average very high and frequently exceeded the assessment threshold leads to the conclusion that the criterion is not in good environmental condition.	The concentrations of DIN were on average very high and frequently exceeded the assessment threshold.	DIP concentrations were often very low	it is not possible to determine the state of the item NT	it is not possible to determine the status of the PC element	The number of records available to assess this criterion is very low and insufficient to make a diagnosis of their condition.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	The concentration of oxygen in the bottom of the water column varied between 4 and 10 milligrams per litre. However, the percentage of values below the de minimis threshold was significantly below 10Â %.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because it is not included in the list of national indicators

Description element		The maximum concentration of nitrate recorded was greater than 100 micromoles and was achieved in the environment of the mouth of the Guadalquivir. In the same coastal area, nitrate concentrations were raised to 10 micromol by 50Â % of the records. Overall, approximately 20Â % of nitrate registrations were higher than the threshold value of the WFD. The largest concentrations of ammonium and nitrite were obtained in the environment of the bay of CÃ¡diz, however these are point values given that only 5Â % of the concentrations of these two parameters were above the threshold of the WFD.	The phosphate threshold value was exceeded by a very significant percentage of records (20Â %), although at the other extreme around 70Â % of the records showed concentrations below the limit of quantification. However, it should be noted that the threshold values calculated in the first cycle of the Member States are significantly higher than the threshold value of the water framework directive, which is probably too restrictive.	These relatively high values were obtained in the environment of the mouth of the Guadalquivir river. However, a defined threshold value is not available to assess this element, therefore it is not possible to determine its status.	On average, TPâs concentration was 2.2 micromoles per litre, with about 16Â % of records being greater than their average concentration

Description overall status	Very high concentrations of DIN in coastal stations in the vicinity of the river mouth of the Guadalquivir were recorded. In addition, the concentration of DIP exceeded the threshold by 16Â % of the records. Therefore, the marine unit is not in good environmental status compared to criterion D5C1. For D5C5, some values of oxygen concentrations were found below the de minimis threshold, although these represented a very low percentage of garlic of the total. Criterion D5C2 has not been evaluated due to a lack of data. In any case, taking into account excess nitrogen which is not attributable to natural factors, it is concluded that the marine unit presents ponies for eutrophication.

Description parameter	Some 60 nitrate and ammonium concentration registers have been drawn up, all of which are taken from samples taken in coastal waters of the Water Framework Directive between 2011 and 2015. Threshold values were defined for the coastal zone (sensu DMA) of the area assessed according to those used for the evaluation of the Water Framework Directive. The threshold values for the parameters that shape the element were: Nitrate (micromoles per litre): Costal zone WFD 6 Ammonium (micromoles per litre): Costal zone WFD 3.9 Nitrite: Costal zone WFD 1.0	There were about 60 records of DIP, all of which were taken from samples taken in coastal waters in the period 2011-2015. The threshold value used (0.2 micromoles per litre) is the one used for the evaluation of the Water Framework Directive.	75 TN registers were available from stations in coastal water bodies. There are no thresholds values defined for this element.	75 TP records were available from stations located in coastal water bodies. There are no thresholds values defined for this element.

Description criteria	The concentrations of DIN were high on average and exceeded the evaluation threshold more often than expected.	DIP concentrations were often above the threshold, as is the case for the DIN. Consequently, the criterion is not in good environmental condition.	Although it is not possible to determine the state of the NT element, the fact that the concentrations of DIN are high on average and frequently exceeded the assessment threshold leads to the conclusion that the criterion is not in good environmental condition.	Although it is not possible to determine the status of the ATP element, the fact that the concentrations of DIN were high on average and frequently exceeded the assessment threshold leads to the conclusion that the criterion is not in good environmental condition.	The number of records available to assess this criterion is very low and insufficient to make a diagnosis of their condition.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	The concentration of oxygen in the bottom of the water column varied between 2 and 10 milligrams per litre. However, the percentage of values below the de minimis threshold was significantly below 10Â %.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because it is not included in the list of national indicators

Description element	The highest nitrate concentrations (above 20 micromoles per litre) were obtained at a station close to MatalascaÃ±as	The highest concentration of phosphate (1,1 micromoles per litre) was obtained at a station close to MazagÃ³n, where also 57Â % of the records were higher than the threshold value. Phosphate values above the threshold value were also found in the MatalascaÃ±as environment.	The average concentration of NT was 14 micromoles per litre. However, there is no threshold value for this element, so it is not possible to assess its status with the available information.	On average, TPâs concentration was 3 micromoles per litre, although only one register was found to exceed 10 micromoles per litre. However, a defined threshold value is not available to assess this element, therefore it is not possible to determine its status.

However, the percentage of values below the de minimis threshold was significantly below 99Â %.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because no data is available for this and a sufficiently defined threshold value is not available.	This criterion has not been assessed because it is not included in the list of national indicators

Description element	Only a record of nitrate obtained in a station located in coastal waters was greater than 20 micromoles per litre and only 10Â % of the registers exceeded the threshold value. The nitrite concentrations were also low, with less than 6Â % of records presenting concentrations higher than the threshold value, as was the case for ammonium.	In a timely manner, a very high concentration of DIP was found at a station close to Isla Cristina (17,4 micromol per litre)	The average concentration of NT was less than 5 micromoles per litre. However, a threshold value for this element has not been established and it is therefore not possible to assess its status with the available information.	On average, TPâs concentration was less than 2 micromoles per litre, although only one register was found to have exceeded 10 micromoles per litre. However, a defined threshold value is not available to assess this element, therefore it is not possible to determine its status.
