GES description |
The physical loss of sea bottoms produced by human activities does not reach a spatial extent that would jeopardise the maintenance of the benthic habitats.
|
Seabed potentially affected by physical disturbance does not reach a spatial extent that would jeopardise the maintenance of benthic habitats.
|
The extent of each benthic habitat type adversely affected by physical disturbances keeps negative or stable trends in a way that ensures their conservation.
|
The proportion of the loss surface of each benthic habitat type due to anthropogenic pressures does not threaten the maintenance of the habitat type.
|
The extent of each habitat type in which benthic communities are kept within values to ensure their durability and performance is maintained or presented with increasing trends.

It is necessary to establish the GES to meet the new criteria for D6. However, the definitions should be quite general as threshold and/or reference values have not yet been established.
