GES description D1 Pelagic habitats
D1C6 Pelagic habitat condition (1.5.2, 1.6, 1.6.1, 1.6.2, 1.6.3)
The condition of the habitat type, including its biotic and abiotic structure and its functions (e.g. its 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.
The condition of the habitat type, the phytoplankton biomass is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures and the biomass should achieve values below the thresholds.


The condition of the habitat type, the zooplankton biomass is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures and the biomass should achieve values above the thresholds.
