Integration rule description for parameters | No integration rule agreed. Expert judgement is used. |
All Elements (trophic groups) were assessed separately for different Ecosystem elements. Only for Apex predators (benthic feeding birds) there was more than one parameter within criterion and in this case OOAO principle was used to produce the overall assessment of the element. |

Integration rule description for criteria | No integration rule agreed. Expert judgement is used among 13 indicators. |
Integration was not fulfilled at the descriptor level, but for seals criteria were integrated by one-out-all-out method. |
Integration has not been applied |
The assessment for D4 at criteria level is not done quantitatively due to lack of integration methods. |
