Description overall status
An assessment of pelagic habitats was not possible since methodologies that could enable a coherent determination of GES have not yet been developed regionally or at EU level, which would be the appropriate spatial scale for this biodiversity-related criterion.

Related pressures
  • Disturbance of species (e.g. where they breed, rest and feed) due to human presence
  • Extraction of, or mortality/injury to, wild species (by commercial and recreational fishing and other activities)
  • Input of anthropogenic sound (impulsive, continuous)
  • Input of litter (solid waste matter, including micro-sized litter)
  • Input of nutrients - diffuse sources, point sources, atmospheric deposition
  • Input of organic matter - diffuse sources and point sources
  • Input of other substances (e.g. synthetic substances, non-synthetic substances, radionuclides) - diffuse sources, point sources, atmospheric deposition, acute events
  • Physical disturbance to seabed
