Criteria D1C1 and D1C2 could not be entered in SRM MO due to lack of method. No indicators are available for the evaluation of criterion D1C4 for marine mammals in the Western Mediterranean Marine Sub-Region. Criterion D1C5 could not be reported for any marine mammal species in this assessment due to the lack of adequate data on the habitats of the species assessed. In some cases, such data do exist but require a significant research effort to define the favourable habitat for each of the species assessed and to develop robust indicators of changes in their ranges. This limit may be exceeded for the next cycle. The methodological standards relating to criteria D1C1, D1C2, D1C4 and D1C5 for marine mammals will be specified following additional studies, as provided for in Ministerial Order 2019 on the definition of good environmental status of marine waters.
