Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2016, Vol 31, Issue 1
Abstract
The habitat 1110 ‘Sandbanks which are slightly covered by sea water all the time’ is protected in 766 Natura 2000 sites in Europe. Due to its significant structural and functional diversity in particular European countries, there is a necessity of working out specific site indices for the state assessment. Methodology of the monitoring and assessment of habitats from Annex I, II, IV and V of Habitat’s Directive is gradually expanding, therefore the first assessment of the state of 1110 habitat in Poland was an expert judgement.<br/><br/>The aim of this work was the presentation of methods used in the ‘Sandbanks that are slightly covered by sea water all the time’ state assessment in selected European countries and presentation of the assumptions for the assessment in Poland. This paper is a continuation of the series concerning marine habitats assessment issue. The first article focused on habitat 1160 ‘Large, shallow inlets and bays’.<br/><br/>
