Criteria for the conservation status assessment of the marine habitats. Case study: habitat 1160 ‘Large, shallow inlets and bays’
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2016, Vol 31, Issue 1
Abstract
Planning effective conservation measures in relation to particular habitats and species, which are the subjects of protection, require, above all, assessing their conservation status and identifying factors that have influenced this state. Although the scope of monitoring and the number of investigated species and habitats from Annex I, II, IV and V of the Habitats Directive is gradually increasing, no formal assessment of 1160 habitat has been performed so far. Methodological guidelines don’t include any assumptions to investigation and valuation of this habitat.In Europe the habitat 1160 is protected in 462 Natura 2000 sites. 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.The aim of this work was the review of methods used in the ‘Large, shallow inlets and bays’ state assessment in selected European countries and presentation the assumptions for the assessment in Polish special area of conservation: PLH220032 Puck Bay and Hel Peninsula.
