GES description |
D1C6 The condition of pelagic habitats, including their biotic and abiotic structure and their functions (e.g, their typical species composition and their relative abundance, absence of particularly sensitive or fragile species or species providing a key function, size structure of species), is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures. GES: Definition of GES at criteria level is not yet available.

Justification for non-use of criterion |

Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements |
We have two specific indicators under this criteria but have also used indicators from other descriptors (D5) as a complement.
We do not have a definition of GES at criteria level yet, but only theshold values at indicator level. The assessments under article 8 are thus semi-quantitative. |
