Ainda não é possível uma avaliação do BEA para a agregação de tartaruga-comum dos Açores, pois não existe informação suficiente para todos os critérios. A informação foi considerada insuficiente para caracterizar e avaliar neste ciclo e, nesses casos, o BEA foi classificado como “Desconhecido”. Os critérios D1C4 e D1C5, considerados de aplicação inadequada, tendo em conta as características deste grupo funcional, não foram avaliados.

Integration rule description criteria
For assessment and integration of environmental status it is essential to collect a wider/diverse set of data, filling gaps for a precision assessment. the suggested integration rule OOAO (WG BEA, 2017) could offer a reliable and robust integration method if the status of each element, criterion, indicator could be assessed with a very high degree of confidence, this is rarely the case.

Description overall status
Only D1C2 has been assessed for one item. The information was considered insufficient to characterise and assess D1C1 and D1C3 in this cycle and in those cases GES was classified as ?Unknown?. Criteria D1C4 and D1C5 considered to be unsuitable, taking into account the characteristics of this functional group, have not been assessed. It was therefore considered that GES is ?Unknown? for sea turtles.
