GES description | D1 Biodiversity | Biologisk mångfald bevaras. Livsmiljöernas kvalitet och förekomst samt arternas fördelning och abundans överensstämmer med rådande geomorfologiska, geografiska och klimatiska villkor. Biological diversity is maintained. The quality and occurrence of habitats and the distribution and abundance of species are in line with prevailing physiographic, geographic and climate conditions. |
The existing descriptions are to be used for the definition of good biodiversity status under the MSFD. It can therefore be said that good environmental status for D1 is defined inter alia by the fact that:... the coastal waters are in good ecological status and the entire territorial sea are in ...

Biological diversity is maintained. The quality and occurrence of habitats and the distribution and abundance of species are in line with prevailing physiographic, geographic and climatic conditions. |
Good environmental status is achieved when the following conditions are met :
- species and habitat diversity, ecological structures and functions, such as connectivity, material flows or species habitats, are maintained and consistent with existing natural environmental conditions; - hum... |
At the scale of the MSFD subregions, and in line with prevailing conditions, the loss of biodiversity has been halted, and where practicable, restoration is underway. The abundance, distribution, extent and condition of species and habitat in UK waters are in line with, prevailing environmental conditions as defined by specific targets for species and habitats. Marine ecosystems and their constituent species and habitats are not significantly impacted by human activities such that the specific structures and functions necessary for their long-term maintenance exist for the forseeable future. Habitats and species identified as requiring protection under existing national or international agreements are conserved effectively through appropriate national or regional mechanisms. |
Ireland’s Marine Biodiversity is safeguarded in such a way that:- • Overall biodiversity is maintained or where appropriate restored. • Ecosystem structure and function is not compromised. • Abundance, distribution, extent and condition of key species and habitats are in line with prevailing physiographic, geographic and climate conditions. Species and habitats identified as needing protection under national or international agreements are effectively protected or conserved through the appropriate national, regional or international mechanisms. |

D1C1 Mortality rate from incidental by-catch | |||||||||||
D1C2 Population abundance (1.2, 1.2.1) | 1.2A Abundans av tumlare Tumlarens abundans ska öka tills mål definierade i ASCOBANS har nåtts. 1.2B Abundans av övervintrande sjöfåglar (samma som 4.3C) Abundansen av övervintrande sjöfågelarter avviker inte från en baslinjenivå. 1.2C Abundans av häckande sjöfåglar Abundansen av häckande sjöfågelarter avviker inte från en baslinjenivå. 1.2E Abundans av sälar GES saknas. Utvecklas i samband med ny förvaltningsplan för sälar. Populationsstorleken av däggdjur, fåglar och fiskar avviker inte från populationernas naturliga fluktuationer. 1.2 The population sizes of mammals, birds, and fish do not deviate from the natural fluctuations of the population. |
The natural distributional range of the species is not declining and there is no risk that it will decline within the foreseeable future (Criterion D1.2.1). |
1) Good conditions according to the Water Framework Directive (i.e. good ecological status), Habitats and Birds Directives (i.e. favourable conservation status) and OSPAR (i.e. ecological quality objectives) are attained. Rare and threatened habitat types and species, included in existing legislation and conventions, are protected to the level envisaged by that legislation or convention. 2) The habitat types and constituting species’ populations extent, distribution and condition minimally reflect the conditions described in the Initial Assessment of Belgian waters (2012). 3) The habitat types are structurally and functionally diverse and productive. 4) Diversity within the different ecosystem components (i.e. plankton, benthos, fish, seabirds and marine mammals) is maintained. |
Good environmental status is achieved when the workforce, demographic characteristics (fertility, mortality) and the health status of the populations naturally present allow for their long lives and longer term lives, depending on the existing natural environmental conditions.

D1C3 Population demographic characteristics (1.3, 1.3.1) | 1.3B Späcktjocklek hos säl Späcktjockleken hos sälar avviker inte från naturliga fluktuationer hos en population med normal späcktjocklek. 1.3C Dräktighetsfrekvens hos säl (samma som 8.2C) Dräktighetsfrekvens hos sälhonor avviker inte från naturliga fluktuationer hos en normalt reproducerande population. 1.3D Tillväxthastighet hos marina däggdjur (samma som 4.1B) Tillväxthastigheten hos marina däggdjur är nära den inneboende tillväxthastigheten hos en population som är opåverkad av människan. Populationerna av däggdjur, fåglar och fiskar har ett hälsotillstånd som garanterar reproduktion och långsiktig överlevnad. 1.3 The populations of mammals, birds, and fish have a health condition that guarantees their reproduction and long-term survival. |
The population's structure and health status can safeguard reproduction and genetic variation to such an extent that the viability of the population can be maintained (Criteria D1.3.1 and D1.3.2). |
1) Good conditions according to the Water Framework Directive (i.e. good ecological status), Habitats and Birds Directives (i.e. favourable conservation status) and OSPAR (i.e. ecological quality objectives) are attained. Rare and threatened habitat types and species, included in existing legislation and conventions, are protected to the level envisaged by that legislation or convention. 2) The habitat types and constituting species’ populations extent, distribution and condition minimally reflect the conditions described in the Initial Assessment of Belgian waters (2012). 3) Diversity within the different ecosystem components (i.e. plankton, benthos, fish, seabirds and marine mammals) is maintained. |
Good environmental status is achieved when the workforce, demographic characteristics (fertility, mortality) and the health status of the populations naturally present allow for their long lives and longer term lives, depending on the existing natural environmental conditions.

MAMIFEROS MARINOS: Los parámetros poblacionales (supervivencia de crías, reproducción, mortalidad, edad de madurez, etc.) se mantienen a niveles consistentes con una población estable o en aumento. El impacto poblacional debido a actividades antropogénicas (capturas accidentales, colisiones con embarcaciones, ruido en zonas de caza con escucha pasiva, actividades de avistamientos de cetáceos, etc.) se mantiene por debajo de aquellos niveles que supongan un riesgo para la población a largo plazo. PECES, ELASMOBRANQUIOS E INVERTEBRADOS MÓVILES (CEFALÓPODOS Y CRUSTÁCEOS): El percentil 95% de la distribución de tallas del ecotipo peces (medido como estima del indicador 1.3.1) se mantiene, o incrementa, respecto a los valores detectados en la presente evaluación inicial. REPTILES: El tamaño poblacional de las especies de cetáceos y reptiles se mantiene en niveles que garanticen la perduración de las mismas en la DM, incluyendo un adecuado funcionamiento demográfico, y un mantenimiento de la variabilidad genética y los procesos ecológicos en los que participan. Las tasas de mortalidad por capturas accidentales, colisiones, o impacto acústico no ponen en peligro el mantenimiento de las condiciones demográficas y los tamaños poblacionales de mamíferos y reptiles considerados necesarios para alcanzar un Buen estado ambiental |

D1C4 Population distributional range and pattern (1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3) | 1.1A Utbredning av tumlare Tumlarens utbredningsområde ska öka. Långsiktigt ska arten återfinnas i dess naturliga utbredningsområden. 1.1B Utbredning av sälar GES saknas. Utvecklas i samband med ny förvaltningsplan för sälar. Arternas utbredning överensstämmer med rådande geomorfologiska, geografiska och klimatiska villkor. Utbredningsområden som förändrats på grund av mänsklig störning är återställda till en långsiktigt hållbar nivå. 1.1 The distribution of species is in line with prevailing geomorphological, geographical, and climatic conditions. Distribution areas previously changed, owing to human activities, are restored to a long-term sustainable level. |
Developments in the porpoise population follow a level which safeguards long-term species abundance and maintenance of the full reproductive capacity of the species (Criteria D1.1.1, D1.1.2 and D1.1.3). |
1) Good conditions according to the Water Framework Directive (i.e. good ecological status), Habitats and Birds Directives (i.e. favourable conservation status) and OSPAR (i.e. ecological quality objectives) are attained. Rare and threatened habitat types and species, included in existing legislation and conventions, are protected to the level envisaged by that legislation or convention. 2) The habitat types and constituting species’ populations extent, distribution and condition minimally reflect the conditions described in the Initial Assessment of Belgian waters (2012). 3) Diversity within the different ecosystem components (i.e. plankton, benthos, fish, seabirds and marine mammals) is maintained. |
Good environmental status is achieved when the spatial distributions of naturally occurring populations are adapted to existing natural environmental conditions. Spatial and functional connectivity is preserved, especially for species habitats.

D1C6 Pelagic habitat condition (1.5.2, 1.6, 1.6.1, 1.6.2, 1.6.3) | 1.6C Bottenfaunaindex (BQI) för kustvatten (samma som 5.3E och 6.2A) En nivå som minst motsvarar god status för bottenfauna enligt gällande bedömningsgrund för bottenfauna i kustvatten och vatten i övergångszon (NFS 2008:1, Bilaga 4, kap. 1.4). 1.6D Bottenfaunaindex (BQI) för utsjövatten (samma som 5.3F och 6.2B) En nivå som minst motsvarar god status för bottenfauna för de utsjövatten som angränsar till de yttre typområdena enligt gällande bedömningsgrund för bottenfauna i kustvatten och vatten i övergångszon (NFS 2008:1, Bilaga 4, kap. 1.4). Livsmiljön är i ett tillstånd som stödjer dess ekologiska funktioner samt diversiteten i associerade samhällen. 1.6 The habitat is in a condition that supports its ecological functions and the diversity of associated communities. |
The physical, hydrological and chemical conditions support the functionality of the habitat (Criteria D1.6.1, D1.6.2 and D1.6.3). |
1) Good conditions according to the Water Framework Directive (i.e. good ecological status), Habitats and Birds Directives (i.e. favourable conservation status) and OSPAR (i.e. ecological quality objectives) are attained. Rare and threatened habitat types and species, included in existing legislation and conventions, are protected to the level envisaged by that legislation or convention. 2) Viable species populations are maintained for the key long-lived, slowly reproducing species, as well as for the top predator species in all habitat types. 3) The habitat types and constituting species’ populations extent, distribution and condition minimally reflect the conditions described in the Initial Assessment of Belgian waters (2012). |
Good ecological status is achieved when the quality of basic habitats, described by biotic (such as the specific composition and abundance of the naturally associated biological community) and abiotic (structural and environmental conditions) parameters, is at a sufficient level to ensure the integrity of naturally associated ecological functions.
