Description criteria	The criterion value is assessed in accordance with national methodology for hydromorphological classification of WFD transitional and coastal waters. The criterion is a sum of results of criteria D6C1 and D6C2. All identified temporal and permanent physical pressures (beach nourishment, sea bed disturbance, etc.) have been assessed applying the so called ‘importance index’ of pressure for the ecosystem. Obtained values have been summed up. Resulted values were divided either by the length of coast line or by an area of the water body. The results have been expressed in percent and next compared to the threshold values, i.e. 5% changes for very good status and 10% for good status. The latter one has been applied as a threshold value for GES.	Values achieved of index B and index SM1 were normalized according to the method applied in the HELCOM second holistic assessment of the Baltic Sea (http://stateofthebalticsea.helcom.fi/). The weighted averaging was applied to normalized values with 50% weight coefficient providing BQRs.The resulting BQRs (biological quality ratios) were compared with the threshold value of 0.6 indicating good environmental status.

The criteria value is assessed on the basis of national methodology for hydromorphological classification of WFD transitional and coastal waters. All identified permanent physical pressures (piers, coastal defence constructions, permanent coast line alteration, etc.) have been assessed applying the so called ‘importance index of pressure’ for the ecosystem, then obtained values have been summed up and divided either by the length of coast line or by an area of the water body.

Description criteria	The criterion value is assessed in accordance with national methodology for hydromorphological classification of WFD transitional and coastal waters. The criterion is a sum of results of criteria D6C1 and D6C2. All identified temporal and permanent physical pressures (beach nourishment, sea bed disturbance, etc.) have been assessed applying the so called ‘importance index’ of pressure for the ecosystem. Obtained values have been summed up. Resulted values were divided either by the length of coast line or by an area of the water body. The results have been expressed in percent and next compared to the threshold values, i.e. 5% changes for very good status and 10% for good status. The latter one has been applied as a threshold value for GES.		The criterion value is assessed on the basis of national methodology for hydromorphological classification of WFD transitional and coastal waters. All identified permanent physical pressures (piers, coastal defence constructions, permanent coast line alteration, etc.) have been assessed applying the so called ‘importance index of pressure’ for the ecosystem, then obtained values have been summed up and divided either by the length of coast line or by an area of the water body. Obtained results (the changes of the ecosystem resilience - PL_WskZm) have been expressed in percent and next compared to the threshold values, i.e. 5% changes for very good status and 10% for good status. The latter one has been applied as a threshold value for GES.
