GES description |
D1C1 ? The death rate for incidental catches does not achieve levels that jeopardise the viability of the population.
D1C2 ? The abundance of sea turtles remains at a level that secures their
sustainability within the sub-region.
D1C3 ? The body condition index for sea turtles is consistent with a population of GES.

Justification for non-use of criterion |
Continent: Insufficient information to assess primary criteria (except D1C1).

Establishment of GES established at the level of the Macaronesian biogeographic region through the PROJECTS SEAS II for marine mammals, birds and sea turtles. For commercially-exploited fish and cephalopods, see D3C3.
|
The species of megafauna of the waters of Macaronesia are highly migratory and present extensive distribution limits, which often extend to the coastal waters of several islands and ocean waters, to a scale greater than the biogeographical region. For these highly mobile, the area and the pattern...
|
The extent and quality of the Azores Sea habitat do not seem to limit the large fauna to GES but there are several species whose life cycle does not entirely follow in the subdivision of the Azores. An assessment of the habitat condition requires an appropriate mapping, either in distance to the ...

Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements |
Continental: lists of representative species and at risk of by-catch that are not defined at sub-regional level: Coordination with the Spanish and French authorities in progress. Thresholds for each species for the sub-region not established: Insufficient pressure and population data
