| Baseline | No. of indicators reported per response | 2003-2011 (3) Baseline levels are defined according to the different available for different functional groups and prevailing habitats. Most often they are lreated to current situation or recent past (e.g. 1994-2011 period for fish groups assessed by the use of trawl-survey data) (6) Baseline levels defined according to the 1994-2011 Medits trawl survey data (3) |
