Description overall status	Since 2012, a total of 8 new non-native species have been reported in the Channel - North Sea marine sub-region. As no threshold defining the "maximum level" of non-native species introduction compatible with the EEB is currently defined, it is not possible to assess the achievement of the EEB under D2C1 for the Channel - North Sea marine sub-region. However, the fact that a number of species have been newly and recently introduced demonstrates that measures need to be taken to limit this risk in the future, and the information on criteria D2C2 and D2C3 identified in the literature is too limited to make a meaningful assessment of these two criteria at the sub-regional level.
