Can we use recovery timescales to define Good Environmental Status?

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Ecosystem-based management is mandated by international legislation, including the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) in the EU. This introduces a requirement for marine environments to achieve “Good Environmental Status” or GES, implying that ...

A simulation-based approach to assess the stability of marine food-webs and inform Good Environmental Status

Ecological Indicators
The European Union Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) recognises that maintaining marine food-webs in Good Environmental Status (GES) is fundamental to ensure the long-term provision of essential ecosystem goods and services.

Integration of indicator outcomes for assessing good environmental status: A model-based approach

Ecological Informatics
Integrated assessments are required to track ecosystem status, any change thereof and progress due to conservation measures. The European Union Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), which aims among others at maintaining biodiversity, requires ...

Response of Food-Webs Indicators to Human Pressures, in the Scope of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Understanding food webs environmental condition is a challenging task since evaluations are limited by data on key ecosystem elements, by the availability of indicators that incorporate relevant guilds and by the difficulty in establishing cause-effect ...

A Bayesian approach for assessing the boundary between desirable and undesirable environmental status – An example from a coastal fish indicator in the Baltic Sea

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Ecological indicator approaches typically compare the prevailing state of an ecosystem component to a reference state reflecting good environmental conditions, i.e. the desirable state.

Status and Trends in the Rate of Introduction of Marine Non-Indigenous Species in European Seas

Diversity, 2022
Invasive alien species are a major worldwide driver of biodiversity change. The current study lists verified records of non-indigenous species (NIS) in European marine waters until 2020, with the purpose of establishing a baseline, assessing trends, and ...

Toward a common approach for assessing the conservation status of marine turtle species within the european marine strategy framework directive

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Environmental policies, including the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), generally rely on the measurement of indicators to assess the good environmental status (GES) and ensure the protection of marine ecosystems. However, depending on
