Target description
Limiting the cumulative pressure on the seabed to a level that allows near natural functioning of benthic habitats.
Limiting the pressure associated with the loss of the seabed.
Minimizing the area of seabed lost within waterbodies in relation to the threshold values included in the development of an update of set of characteristics for good environmental status of Polish marine waters.
Minimizing the area of seabed lost within waterbodies in relation to the threshold values included in the development of an update of set of characteristics for good environmental status of Polish marine waters.
Minimizing the area of seabed loss.
Limiting the physical pressure associated with disturbance on the seabed.
Minimizing the area of seabed disturbance within the waterbodies in relation to the threshold values included in the development of an update of set of characteristics for good environmental status of Polish marine waters.
Minimizing the area and frequency of disturbance on the seabed
Limiting cumulative pressures on habitats.
Minimizing the cumulative surface of the seabed disturbance in relation to the area of the habitat within the waterbody in relation to the threshold values included in the development of an update of set of characteristics for good environmental status of Polish marine waters.
Minimizing the area and frequency of disturbance on the seabed in relation to the area of the habitat.
Reducing the loss of the habitat in order to maintain its near natural extent.
Reducing the pressure associated with the introduction of nutrients, synthetic, non-synthetic substances and organic matter into the environment and pressure related with extraction and compaction of the substrate causing secondary abrasion and siltation in order to maintain the proper condition of benthic habitats.
Reducing the pressures associated with the introduction of biogenic, synthetic, non-synthetic substances, organic matter into the environment as well as related with extraction and compaction of the substrate causing secondary abrasion and siltation in order to restore close to the natural structure of macrophyte and angiosperm plant communities. In terms of introduction of substances, the targets are consistent with those for D5. In terms of impact on the seabed, the targets are consistent with those for the criteria D6C1, D6C2, D6C3 and D7C1 and D7C2.

Target assessment description
This is a qualitative Target for Descriptor. There are no specific parameters in place.
This is a qualitative Target for Criterion.
For transitional and coastal waterbodies the parameters are: - the total bottom area occupied by hydrotechnical constructions; - total length of linear hydrotechnical constructions within the seabed.
For transitional and coastal waterbodies the parameters are: - the total bottom area occupied by hydrotechnical constructions, - total length of linear hydrotechnical constructions within the seabed.
There are no parameters in place to assess the extent of habitat loss.
This is a general qualitative Target for Criterion.
For transitional and coastal waterbodies parameters are: - the total area of seabed disturbance; - total length of linear seabed disturbance.
There are no parameters in place to assess the scope of physical disturbance.
This is a general qualitative Target for Criterion.
Area occupied by hydrotechnical constructions in relation to the entire surface of waterbody is presented in an aggregated form as an indicator of changes in ecosystem resilience (PL_WskZm).
There are no parameters in place to assess the extent of disturbed benthic habitats.
This is a qualitative Target for Criterion. There are no specific parameters in place.
