Baseline |
Baseline levels are defined according to the different available for different functional groups and prevailing habitats. Most often they are lreated to current situation or recent past (e.g. 1994-2011 period for fish groups assessed by the use of trawl-survey data) |

Status Description |
Lack of data/methods to describe the status of the large majority of species groups of functional relevance at ecosystem level; lack of established method to integrate information into a single evaluation using a single indicator; |
Lack of established methods for setting threshold values of Large Fish Indicator for GES assessment since the available time-series is too short and noisy. Lack of modeling tools to predict LFI response to press release. |
Lack of data to describe the status of the large majority of functional groups and habitats at ecosystem level; lack of established method to integrate information into a single evaluation of the indicator; |
