Description overall status |
The D1C2 criterion was used to assess the environmental status of the Lithuanian sea area according to the D1 descriptor, the indicators of which include two functional groups of birds (abundance of wintering pelagic and benthic-feeding birds). When assessing the status of functional groups of seabird species, the proportion (%) of species in the group that were assessed as good was determined. A group of functional seabird species shall be considered to be in good condition if at least 75% of the individual species assessed for that species have been assessed as good. At the level of the group of benthic birds - GES was not achieved (0% of the abundance of benthic species in the functional group was GES). According to the OOAO rule, the general environmental condition of the Lithuanian sea area according to the D1 descriptor for birds is not good.

The D1C2 criterion was used to assess the environmental status of the Lithuanian sea area according to the D1 descriptor, the indicators of which include two functional groups of birds (abundance of wintering pelagic and benthic-feeding birds). According to the different species of bird functional groups, the abundance of 2 wintering pelagic species (eared plover and Lesser Spotted Woodpecker) reached GES values, but the abundance of other pelagic and all benthic-feeding bird species did not reach GES values during the study period. When assessing the status of functional groups of seabird species, the proportion (%) of species in the group that were assessed as good was determined. A group of functional seabird species shall be considered to be in good condition if at least 75% of the individual species assessed for that species have been assessed as being in good condition. At the level of two functional groups of birds (pelagic and benthic), GES was not achieved (40% of pelagic species and 0% of benthic species in functional groups were GES). According to the OOAO rule, the general environmental condition of the Lithuanian sea area according to the D1 descriptor for birds is not good.
