See EU Directive 2008\/56\/EC and Commission Decision of 1 September 2010 on criteria and methodological standards on good environmental status of marine waters; 2010\/477\/EU. (http\/\/:eur-lex.europa.eu\/LexUriServ\/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2010:232:0014:0024:EN:PDF)<\/p>\n<p>The MSFD requires an analysis of the state of habitats and the intensity and distribution of anthropogenic pressures impacting upon them. Indicators should therefore aim to address those pressures which cause physical damage to the seafloor in the OSPAR area and should also assess both predominant and special habitat types.<\/p>\n<p>Last year the UK produced part one of the UK Marine Strategy containing information on indicators for each of the GES indicators, one of which is the Physical Habitat Damage Indicator. This indicator is mainly focused on the delivery of Descriptor 6 and will review physical damage to benthic habitats by assessing the vulnerability of these habitats to various anthropogenic pressures. The workshop therefore mainly focused on \u00a0three key approaches, namely a Vulnerability Assessment (led by the UK), the Bioconsult Concept Model (Germany) and Seafloor Integrity (UK) in undertaking sensitivity analysis whilst attempting to link pressures to impacts on seabed species and habitats.<\/p>\n<p>See papers by:<\/p>\n<p>Bolam, S.
