Description criteria	DIN concentrations are not at levels that indicate adverse eutrophication effects.	DIP concentrations are not at levels that indicate adverse eutrophication effects.	TP concentrations are not at levels that indicate adverse eutrophication effects.	According to D5C2, good environmental status (GES) is achieved because the chlorophyll a concentration is within the limits for GES in coastal and open waters.	The concentration of dissolved oxygen is not reduced, due to nutrient enrichment, to levels that indicate adverse effects on benthic habitats (including on associated biota and mobile species) or other eutrophication effects.
