Good status is defined qualitatively for each of the evaluation criteria and qualitative targets are also set for each criterion. A good status limit (s), which can be either quantitative or qualitative, is set for hot indicators, unless quantitative values can be scientifically set.

Description [Targets] |
Anthropogenic pressures on the seabed are local and the cumulative effects of these pressures do not interfere with the natural structure and function of the benthic ecosystems.
