Justification for non-use of criterion |
Thresholds for the adverse effects of physical disturbance on each habitat type, and the maximum permissible extent of habitat loss and adverse effects on the condition of each habitat type are not yet established at regional and / or subregional level: insufficient data for the level of pressure and effects on the marine environment; under discussion in the TG Seabed working group in which Portugal participates.
