| GES description | D1 Biodiversity | HABITATS COSTEROS: FONDOS ROCOSOS INFRALITORALES - El BEA de los descriptores de extensión y patrón de distribución del hábitat roca infralitoral es que los valores de dichos descriptores se mantengan estables. - Podemos definir el BEA en relación a los descriptores de condición de hábitat, como aquel en que los valores de los diferentes descriptores/indicadores de condición o estado del hábitat arrecife rocoso analizados tanto por separado como de forma conjunta por índices multimétricos, no se desvían significativamente de los medidos en aquellos hábitat rocosos sin alteración antrópica que coinciden en las características básicas estructurales (profundidad, topografía, distancia a costa, hábitat circundante etc.). |
Good environmental status is achieved when the following conditions are met : - species and habitat diversity, ecological structures and functions, such as connectivity, material flows or species habitats, are maintained and consistent with existing natural environmental conditions; - human activities and induced pressures are at a level compatible with the ecological resilience of the ecosystem. The concept of "existing natural environmental conditions" incorporates the natural variability of populations and communities, as well as that due to climate change. This implies in particular and cumulatively that good ecological status is achieved when: - diversity at all levels of life organisation (populations, functional groups, communities and habitats) does not decrease significantly, in terms of composition (number and nature of taxa, functional groups or basic habitats) and proportion (relative abundances/extent), under existing natural environmental conditions; - the spatial distributions of naturally occurring populations and habitats are adapted to existing natural environmental conditions. Spatial and functional connectivity is preserved, particularly for species habitats (all the geographical areas necessary for the completion of the natural life cycle of a species); - the size, demographic characteristics (fertility, mortality) and health status of naturally occurring populations allow their long-term maintenance and survival, according to existing natural environmental conditions; - the quality of the basic habitats, described by biotic (such as the specific composition and abundance of the naturally associated biological community) and abiotic (structural and environmental conditions) parameters, is at a sufficient level to ensure the integrity of the naturally associated ecological functions.

To achieve GES there should be: No change in the size and distribution of the seal Monachus monachus in Greek waters. No change in the population size of the Caretta caretta spawning in the Greek coasts. No significant reduction of the survival rate of Posidonia oceanica with time. No significant reduction of the area occupied by the Posidonia oceanica habitat. No significant reduction of the area occupied by the maerl-type sediments and other coralligenous habitats. Compliance of benthic macrofauna communities with environmental quality criteria. No significant adverse effect of the structure of planktonic communities by anthropogenic activities. |
The marine environment of Cyprus is considered to be in good environmental status by the year 2020 if biological diversity is maintained. The quality and occurrence of habitats and the distribution and abundance of species are in line with prevailing physiographic, geographic and climatic conditions. |

Conservation status of seabird populations is consistent with the Birds Directive and, where appropriate, with the African-Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (AEWA). In particular, GES is achieved when the breeding success is satisfactory and in accordance to the demographic characteristics of each species. IT- WMS-8A04-1000.

As far as concern demersal elasmobranches the indicator 1.6.2 is implemented by the abundance (number) and biomass (weight) of piscivorous species (Troph. Lev. ≥ 4,0). The achievement of GES is obtained when temporal trends in abundance and biomass of demersal piscivorous elasmobranches are constant or significatively increasing (β≥0, p<0.05). GES is achieved when values ​​of species diversity (the Shannon-Wiener index, H’) in the assessment area is equal to or exceed the threshold value (quantitatively expressed) Good Environmental Status respect to the indicator 1.6.1 is maintained and/or reached when the presence, the composition and the vitality of habitat builder species are stable or not significantly altered due to anthropic actions from the fixed baseline The GES condition for demersal elasmobranches is achieved when temporal trend of specific diversity (Shannon-Wiener Index, H’) is constant or significantly increasing in the assesment area. The Good Environmental Status with respect to the Indicator 1.6.2. is considered maintained or achieved when the relative abundance of the plankton communities compatible with the natural conditions, or presents a slight deviation from these conditions. |
