| Abstract |
ICES advises that the assessment of both physical loss and physical disturbance of the seafloor and its habitats is performed within a single assessment process, as presented in this advice. The assessment process expresses the spatial extent and distribution of these pressures, both separately and in combination, in MSFD marine waters per (sub)region and per MSFD broad habitat type. This processs also provides an overarching regional approach that allows the benchmarking of national assessments against a regional assessment, thereby providing further consistency. Operational data flows for the assessment process have been identified and a demonstration assessment is provided, which includes examples of pressure distribution maps and tables. |
