The evaluation will be carried out according to the WFD assessment for the quality component macrozoobenthos.
The assessment is carried out by habitat type assessment under the Habitats Directive (https://www.bfn.de/themen/natura-2000/berichte-monitoring/nationaler-ffh-bericht.html) for vegetation free sand, mud and manure, and the WFD assessment (http://wasserblick.net/servlet/is/148547/) for the quality element Angiosperms and macroalgae.

Description criteria
According to this, a broadscale benthic habitat is in good condition according to criterion D6C3 if at least 10% of its area is not permanently impaired (no physical stress) and the severely impaired occurrence area is less than 25% of the total occurrence area of the habitat. (Nationally determined threshold)
According to this, a broadscale benthic habitat is in good condition according to criterion D6C3 if at least 10% of its area is not permanently impaired (no physical stress) and the severely impaired occurrence area is less than 25% of the total occurrence area of the habitat. (Nationally determined threshold)
The criterion D6C4 (surface area of the benthic habitat) cannot be assessed at present. An indicator measuring the loss of surface area due to anthropogenic interference is currently being developed in OSPAR in cooperation between Germany and the United Kingdom.
For the OSPAR indicator state of the benthic communities: Regional sublittoral habitats have also not been defined at regional level. No assessment of the benthic habitats was carried out using a nationally determined threshold, as the current state of development of the indicator does not ensure a representative assessment of national habitats from a technical point of view.

For this criterion, the surface of a benthic habitat is in a good condition, where all the thresholds of the individual assessments available for it are met. For a representative assessment, more than 50 % of the habitat?s meeting space must have been assessed at national and/or EU level. A benthic habitat is in good environmental status according to criterion D6C5 if the threshold is not met in less than 25 % of the assessed area (also national).
