Year of assessment State Pressure Response
2010 very unfavourable high medium
Whole site assessed? State assessed by Accuracy of information
yes population good

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species Reference Actual Units % remaining Result
Brent Goose Branta bernicla 300 55 individuals 19 very unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat Timing Scope Severity Result
Invasive and other problematic species and genes happening now majority/most of area/population (50-90%) moderate to rapid deterioration high
Biological resource use happening now majority/most of area/population (50-90%) no or imperceptible deterioration low
Pollution happening now majority/most of area/population (50-90%) no or imperceptible deterioration low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas Management plan Other action Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation No management plan exists but the management planning process has begun Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity medium
