GES description | D8 Contaminants | ||
GES description | D8C1 Contaminants in environment (8.1, 8.1.1) | Beyond territorial waters, the concentrations of contaminants do not exceed the threshold values in marine water and biota. |
Within coastal and territorial waters, the concentrations of contaminants do not exceed the threshold values. Percentile 75 does not exceed the threshold values from EU and national legislation |
GES description | D8C2 Adverse effects of contaminants (8.2, 8.2.1) | The levels of contaminants in the marine environment do not cause adverse effects on seagrass and macroalgal species and their communities. |
|
GES description | D8C3 Significant acute pollution events (8.2.2) | Beyond territorial waters, the concentrations of contaminants do not exceed the threshold values in marine water and biota. |
|
GES description | D8C4 Adverse effects of significant pollution events (8.2.2) | The levels of contaminants in the marine environment do not cause adverse effects on seagrass and macroalgal species and their communities. |

Justification for non-use of criterion | D8C3: D8C3 not included due to the lack of specific data on the significant acute pollution events and their effects |
||
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements | D8C2: Currently, criteria and thresholds for the adverse effect of contaminants on seagrass habitats are missing. These need to be developed in future. D8C3: No data available yet. D8C4: Currently, criteria and thresholds for the adverse effect of contaminants on seagrass and macroalgal habitats are missing. These need to be developed in future. |
