Target code/description
BLK-BG-D1C2-Target: Abundance per species is high and stable or increases. Each of the species must be in condition, corresponding to the individual thresholds. Threshold values for abundance (N) by species: • Short-baked common dolphin (D.d.ponticus) – coastal and shelf area – N>/= 5 019 ind. (ship-based survey); offshore area – N>/=23 580 ind. (aerial survey). • Bottlenose dolphin (T.t.ponticus) - coastal and shelf area – N>/= 4 861 ind., (ship-based survey); offshore area – N>/=10 162 ind. (aerial survey). • Harbour porpoise (P.p.relicta) - coastal and shelf area – N>/= 1 003 ind. (ship-based survey); offshore area – N>/=9 960 ind. (aerial survey). Target is all three species to achieve GES (100% of the species) to achieve GES and increasement by 66.66%.
BLK-BG-D1C4-DIST-Target: Maintaining or increasing the distributional range (and distributional pattern within the scope) of marine mammals in the assessment areas and increasing in density of distribution. Threshold values for density (D) by species: • Short-baked common dolphin (D.d.ponticus) - coastal and shelf area –D>/= 0.718 ind/km2 (ship-based survey); offshore area – D>/=0.835 ind/km2 (aerial survey). • Bottlenose dolphin (T.t.ponticus) - coastal and shelf area – D>/= 0.696 ind/km2 (ship-based survey); offshore area – D>/=0.360 ind/km2 (aerial survey). • Harbour porpoise (P.p.relicta) - coastal and shelf area – D>/= 0.144 ind/km2 (ship-based survey); offshore area – D>/=0.353 ind/km2 (aerial survey). Target is all three species to achieve GES and increasement by 66.66%.
