Indicative lists of ecosystem elements, anthropogenic pressures and human activities relevant to the marine waters (referred to in Articles 8(1), 9(1), 9(3), 10(1), 11(1) and 24) Notes related to Table 1 Note 1: An indicative list of relevant parameters and characteristics for species, habitats and ecosystems is given, reflecting parameters affected by the pressures of Table 2 of this Annex and of relevance to criteria laid down in accordance with Article 9(3). The particular parameters and characteristics to be used for monitoring and assessment should be determined in accordance with the requirements of this Directive, including those of its Articles 8 to 11. Note 2: The numbers in this column refer to the respective numbered points in Annex I. Note 3: Only the state-based qualitative descriptors (1), (3), (4) and (6) which have criteria laid down in accordance with Article 9(3) are listed in Table 1. All other, pressure-based, qualitative descriptors under Annex I may be relevant for each theme.

Note 4: These species groups are further specified in Part II of the Annex to Commission Decision (EU) 2017/848 of 17 May 2017 laying down criteria and methodological standards on good environmental status of marine waters and specifications and standardised methods for monitoring and assessment, and repealing Decision 2010/477/EU (see page 43 of this Official Journal). Note 5: These broad habitat types are further specified in Part II of the Annex to Decision (EU) 2017/848. Table 2 Anthropogenic pressures, uses and human activities in or affecting the marine environment Notes related to Table 2 Note 1: Assessments of pressures should address their levels in the marine environment and, if appropriate, the rates of input (from land-based or atmospheric sources) to the marine environment. Note 2: The numbers in this column refer to the respective numbered points in Annex I. Note 3: Only pressure-based qualitative descriptors (2), (3), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10) and (11), which have criteria laid down in accordance with Article 9(3), are listed in Table 2a. All other, state-based, qualitative descriptors under Annex I may be relevant for each theme.
