Target description	The spatial extent and distribution of physical loss (permanent change) of the natural seabed is at a level that ensures that the structure and functions of the ecosystems, and benthic ecosystems, in particular, are not adversely affected	The spatial extent and distribution of physical disturbance pressures on the seabed is at a level that ensures that the structure and functions of the ecosystems, and benthic ecosystems, in particular, are not adversely affected	The extent of loss of the habitat type, resulting from anthropogenic pressures, does not exceed a specified proportion of the natural extent of the habitat type in the assessment area.	The extent of adverse effects from anthropogenic pressures on the condition of the habitat type, including alteration to its biotic and abiotic structure and its functions, does not exceed a specified proportion of the natural extent of the habitat type in the assessment area
