Target code/description | T_BLK-BG-D5C1_Nutrients: 90% of the area are below the threshold T_BLK-BG-D5C3_NsB%: Noctiluca scintillans biomass should not be above the threshold of 90% of assessed area. T_BLK_BG_D5C7_Seagrass_EI: The ecological index (EI) (Dencheva and Doncheva, 2014) value should be equal to or more than 6 within the seagrass habitat extent. T_BLK_BG_D5C7_Seagrass_ESGI: The proportion of the wet biomass of the sensitive species (ESG I) (Dencheva and Doncheva, 2014) should be equal to or more than 60 % of the total macrophyte wet biomass within the macrophyte habitat. T_BLK-BG-D5C5_OS: 90% of the area are above the threshold T_BLK_BG_D5C4_Seagrass: The annual average transparency of the coastal waters is equal to or more than 6 meters. T_BLK_BG_D5C6_Seagrass: The proportion of the wet biomass of the tolerant (opportunistic) species (ecological status group (ESG) II) should be less than 40 % of the total wet macrophyte biomass (Dencheva and Doncheva, 2014) within the seagrass habitat. T_BLK_BG_D5C7_Seagrass_ZnoPI: The EQR of the Zostera noltei pollution index (ZnoPI) (Karamfilov et al., 2019) value should be equal to or more than 0.775 at around 3 m depth. |
5.5: Percentile 90 of borttom oxygen saturation (warm season) should not be lower than the threshold value 5.3: At least 50% of Noctiluca scintillans biomass values do not exceed the threshold values: -cold season - 60mg/m3 -warm season - 240mg/m3 5.6: Average biomass of opportunistic macroalgae expressed as ESGII (opportunistic/total biomass ratio percentage) does not exceed 40%. 5.3: At least 50% of Noctiluca scintillans biomass values do not exceed the threshold values: -cold season - 70mg/m3 -warm season - 240mg/m3 5.1: Principle OneOutAllOut applied to maximum allowable concentrations from national legislation (Ord.161/2006) for each parameter (TP, NO3, NO2, NH4). 5.1: DIP and DIN to be maintained or decreased 5.3: At least 50% of Noctiluca scintillans biomass values do not exceed the threshold values: -cold season - 100mg/m3 -warm season - 350mg/m3 5.4: Percentile 90 of water transparency (warm season) should be higher than the threshold value 5.2: 75 percentile of warm season chlorophyll a concentrations in water do not exceed the threshold values 5.1: DIN and DIP concentrations to be maintained or decreased |
