GES description		Spatial extent and distribution of physical loss (permanent change) of the natural seabed are at levels that are not adversely affecting the structure and functions of the marine environment	Spatial extent and distribution of physical disturbance of the natural seabed are at levels that are not adversely affecting the structure and functions of the marine environment		The extent of loss of the habitat type, resulting from anthropogenic pressures, is at levels that are not adversely affecting the structure and functions of the benthic habitats.	The extent of adverse effects from anthropogenic pressures on the condition of the habitat type, including alteration to its biotic and abiotic structure and its functions (macroalge typical species composition , absence of particularly sensitive or fragile species or species providing a key function) is at levels that is not adversely affecting the structure and functions of the ecosystem. GES is assessed using the multimetric index EI that should be above the threshold value.	The extent of adverse effects from anthropogenic pressures on the condition of the habitat type, including alteration to its biotic and abiotic structure and its functions (benthic communities typical species composition, absence of particularly sensitive or fragile species or species providing a key function) is at levels that is not adversely affecting the structure and functions of the ecosystem. GES is assessed using the multimetric index M-AMBI*(n) that should be above the threshold value.
