Indicator Chart
Objective: Protection of marine habitats and species
  • Only one priority species was assessed as increasing in 2002 with 8 declining. The trend was either fluctuating or unknown for 27 species (52 per cent), so an overall assessment of progress has not been made.
  • In 2002, 15 out of the 17 priority coastal and marine habitats had a status reported as unknown.
