Integration rule description parameter
No proper methodology for the integration of parameters has been defined. In this specific case, all evaluated parameters are in an """"Unknown"""" state due to the lack of reference threshold values. Consequently, the status of the Criterion is necessarily """"Unknown."""" Simultaneously, new indices (alpha diversity: Shannon-Wiener, Gini-Simpson, Rao; beta Diversity: Local Contribution to Beta Diversity, Importance Value Index) are being studied to enable future assessment of the achievement of GES

Description overall status
No assessment was conducted in 2018. Knowledge or methodological gaps for the study of biodiversity, along with the lack of agreed threshold values at the Mediterranean region level (UNEP-MAP, Barcelona Convention), did not allow for determining whether Good Environmental Status (GES) had been achieved or not
