Description overall status	The 2018 ecological status assessment for the "Seabirds" component of descriptor 1 was based on a total of 12 species (all species groups combined) at the scale of the Channel/North Sea marine sub-region (i.e. 17% of representative species). However, the GES assessment for these species is very partial, given the lack of data to inform criteria D1C1 (bycatch), D1C3 (demographic characteristics), D1C4 (distribution) and D1C5 (extent and condition of species habitats). The too low number of elements calculated therefore does not allow for an assessment of good status at the species, species group and seabird component level. However, the evaluation of OSPAR indicator B1 (abundance of breeding pairs - D1C2) in the Channel/North Sea marine sub-region has highlighted a problematic situation, in particular for 2 species in the "surface seabirds" species group, namely the northern fulmar and the great black-backed gull, and for one species in the "pelagic diving birds" species group, namely the great cormorant.

The 2018 ecological status assessment for the "Seabirds" component of descriptor 1 was based on a total of 12 species (all species groups combined) at the scale of the Channel/North Sea marine sub-region (i.e. 17% of representative species). However, the GES assessment for these species is very partial, given the lack of data to inform criteria D1C1 (bycatch), D1C3 (demographic characteristics), D1C4 (distribution) and D1C5 (extent and condition of species habitats). The too low number of elements calculated therefore does not allow for an assessment of good status at the species, species group and seabird component level. However, the evaluation of OSPAR indicator B1 (abundance of breeding pairs - D1C2) in the Channel/North Sea marine sub-region has highlighted a problematic situation, in particular for 2 species in the "surface seabirds" species group, namely the northern fulmar and the great black-backed gull, and for one species in the "pelagic diving birds" species group, namely the great cormorant.

The too low number of elements calculated therefore does not allow for an assessment of good status at the species, species group and seabird component level. However, the evaluation of OSPAR indicator B1 (abundance of breeding pairs - D1C2) in the Channel/North Sea marine sub-region has highlighted a problematic situation, in particular for 2 species in the "surface seabirds" species group, namely the northern fulmar and the great black-backed gull, and for one species in the "pelagic diving birds" species group, namely the great cormorant.	The 2018 ecological status assessment for the "Seabirds" component of descriptor 1 was based on a total of 12 species (all species groups combined) at the scale of the Channel/North Sea marine sub-region (i.e. 17% of representative species). However, the GES assessment for these species is very partial, given the lack of data to inform criteria D1C1 (bycatch), D1C3 (demographic characteristics), D1C4 (distribution) and D1C5 (extent and condition of species habitats).
