Criterion D1C1 could not be filled in for any seabird species during this assessment mainly due to the lack of data. The status of criterion D1C2 could not be reported during this assessment despite the use of OSPAR indicator B1. Indeed, methodological developments (protocols, thresholds, indicators) and the acquisition of additional data are necessary to be able to conclude on the status of criterion D1C2 for each species considered. The methodological standards relating to criteria D1C1 and D1C2 for seabird species will therefore be specified following further studies, as provided for in Ministerial Order 2019 on the definition of good environmental status of marine waters.
