This area maintains good environmental status, as it is contiguous to areas that are not subject to direct anthropogenic pressures (e.g., submarine outfalls, river discharges). The high hydrodynamics (oceanographic currents; waves) existing on the Portuguese continental shelf is responsible for t...

Contaminants - UPBT are assessed against the thresholds from WFD (2008/105/EC) relevant national standards for pollutants established under SI 272/2009 and OSPAR Environmental Assessment Criteria. There is a mix of EU and OSPAR in this grouping which is why we have selected other for criteria integration rule type. D8T1a; WFD Environmental Quality Standards for other surface waters (EQSw) established under the WFD Daughter Directive ,check for correct directive ref here> and relative national standards for pollutants established under SI 272/2009. D8T1b; OSPAR Environmental Assessment Criteria (EACs) for contaminants in shellfish (D8C1). Where an agreed OSPAR EAC is not available for a substance, OSPAR apply alternative criteria in lieu as part of their assessments (metals and PBDEs). Contaminants - non UPBT are assessed against the thresholds from WFD (2008/105/EC) relevant national standards for pollutants established under SI 272/2009 and OSPAR Environmental Assessment Criteria. D8T1a; WFD Environmental Quality Standards for other surface waters (EQSw) established under the WFD Daughter Directive ,check for correct directive ref here> and relative national standards for pollutants established under SI 272/2009. D8T1b; OSPAR Environmental Assessment Criteria (EACs) for contaminants in shellfish (D8C1). Where an agreed OSPAR EAC is not available for a substance, OSPAR apply alternative criteria in lieu as part of their assessments (metals and PBDEs). The assessment is based on the OSPAR EcoQO (VDSI< 2) threshold for the impact of TBT on Dogwhelk imposex. |
A threshold value is established for the proportion of cases that should be below T1, which makes it possible to establish whether or not the BEA is achieved for a demarcation. As in the initial assessment of 2012, it is proposed to use an initial threshold value of 95Â % cases without risk (< T1) for each of the indicators used separately.
